This study aims to examine how leadership values are integrated into Physical Education (PE) for senior high school students and to identify effective pedagogical approaches that support leadership development. Using the PRISMA 2020 framework, a systematic literature review was conducted across Google Scholar, ERIC, Scopus, Web of Science, DOAJ, and Indonesian databases such as SINTA and GARUDA, focusing on peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2025. A total of 35 studies met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed using a structured extraction matrix. The findings indicate that leadership development in PJOK is most effectively facilitated through the Sport Education Model, cooperative learning, game-based learning, project-based learning, outdoor education, and service learning, all of which provide authentic leadership experiences through structured roles, collaborative tasks, and reflective activities. The reviewed studies consistently reported improvements in responsibility, communication, teamwork, decision-making, and student confidence, although challenges related to teacher preparedness, instructional consistency, and school resources were evident, particularly within Indonesian contexts. Overall, the review concludes that PJOK offers a meaningful platform for fostering leadership among adolescents when supported by intentional, well-designed, and reflective pedagogical practices, underscoring the need for strengthened teacher capacity and the adoption of evidence-based instructional models.
