Abstract This study investigates the unique challenges that non-physical education (PE) teachers encounter when required to deliver the PE curriculum. By drawing on existing literature and teachers' experiences, it highlights critical gaps in training and supports that impact instructional quality. Many non-PE teachers often lack specialized training, leading to challenges such as limited content knowledge, the need for improvisation, time constraints, and concerns regarding student engagement and learning. Without adequate preparation and resources, these teachers struggle to provide high-quality PE instruction, which negatively affects the success of PE programs and the long-term health outcomes of students. This qualitative study focuses on the experiences of non-PE teachers through semi-structured interviews. Responses were transcribed, coded, and analyzed to identify key themes, with methodology validation conducted by an expert panel to ensure rigor. Ethical guidelines, including informed consent, were prioritized to protect participant welfare. The findings reveal core challenges, including improvisation needs, significant time constraints, and pedagogical difficulties, alongside concerns about effectively supporting student learning. In response, teachers employed coping strategies such as seeking administrative support, engaging in professional development, and demonstrating a personal commitment to innovative practices, Ultimately, the study advocates targeted support, accessible resources, and curriculum development to empower non-specialized PE teachers, enhancing teaching quality and fostering students’ health and learning outcomes.
