This is the first accessible, critically grounded book to examine how artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the foundations of physical education (PE). 
Opening with a concise introduction to the fundamentals of AI, and assuming no prior knowledge on the part of the reader, the book goes on to examine how AI disrupts embodied and relational learning in PE, identifies the ethical and professional dilemmas emerging from these disruptions, and proposes future-oriented directions that are human-centred, ethical and sustainable. As well as highlighting the challenges posed by this profoundly disruptive new technology, the book also argues that AI enables contributions from regions historically underrepresented in PE research, thereby diversifying our understanding of what ‘good PE’ is. Every chapter also includes a ‘Practice Reflection’ feature that encourages the reader to consider how the concepts explored in that chapter might have a bearing on their own work and professional practice, as well as a guide to further reading. 
As AI has an increasingly significant impact on policy, process and practice in education and our wider social worlds, this book is essential reading for any advanced student, researcher, trainee teacher, in-service teacher, coach, school leader or policy-maker looking to better understand this powerful new technology in the context of physical education.
