Abstract: In the current period, there is a growing interest in finding solutions for the new generation to have a more physically active life. One of the main tools we can act is the physical education lesson. Purpose: This paper aimed to find out if there is a new approach to the physical education class, one with a much more pedagogical (knowledge-based) character than the traditional approach based on competition and physical performance (sport-based). Method: Based on the PRISMA statement’s guidelines, several 105 papers were selected. Results and Discussion: The most commonly used terms to describe this new approach are: "physical literacy", "conceptual physical education" and "fitness education". The main role of this knowledge-based approach is to complete the practical activity and not to replace it. To achieve this, the theoretical component of physical education provides the student with knowledge of concepts, principles and methods, essential for effectively managing physical activity. The last part of the paper presents the main barriers that make teachers reject this knowledge-based approach.
