<![CDATA[Lesson planning is an essential part of physical education because it guides the organization of objectives, content, learning activities, and assessment. This study aimed to identify and synthesize the barriers faced by physical education teachers in developing lesson plans. A systematic literature review (SLR) was conducted on 18 articles published between 2017-2026 and obtained from the Scopus and ScienceDirect databases. The inclusion criteria comprised empirical research related to barriers in planning physical education lessons in schools, while conference papers, book chapters, books, and review articles were excluded. Data analysis was carried out using thematic analysis. The findings revealed six main themes of barriers: pedagogical barriers, teacher professional capacity, technological barriers, institutional barriers, student and contextual barriers, and sociocultural barriers. Pedagogical barriers and teacher professional capacity were the most frequently reported, indicating that challenges related to instructional design and teacher competency were the dominant obstacles in planning physical education lessons. Technological and institutional barriers are also significant, but less frequently reported. The study shows that barriers to lesson planning in physical education are influenced by various interrelated multidimensional factors.]]>
