AbstrakMata pelajaran Pendidikan Jasmani merupakan komponen penting dalam kurikulum pendidikan negara untuk melahirkan generasi muda yang sihat dan cergas melalui penekanan kepada aspek perkembangan psikomotor, kognitif, afektif dan kecergasan fizikal. Namun demikian, penekanan kepada pelaksanaan mata pelajaran Pendidikan Jasmani masih kurang diberikan perhatian sama ada oleh pihak sekolah mahupun ibu bapa. Justeru itu, kertas ini membincangkan kekangan pelaksanaan Pendidikan Jasmani berdasarkan beberapa cabaran seperti faktor guru, murid, persekitaran sekolah serta kemudahan fizikal, pentadbir sekolah dan sokongan ibu bapa. Sebagai penambahbaikan, beberapa cadangan dikemukakan bagi mengatasi setiap cabaran yang telah dikenalpasti. Para pentadbir dan guru di sekolah perlu mengambil berat pelaksanaan mata pelajaran Pendidikan Jasmani dari sudut yang positif dan sentiasa bersedia untuk menerima perubahan dalam usaha memartabatkan kepentingan mata pelajaran Pendidikan Jasmani agar setanding dengan mata pelajaran lain.Kata Kunci: Pendidikan Jasmani, sekolah menengah, kepentingan, cabaran pelaksanaan, Malaysia
