This study examined the application of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) principles in inclusive physical education (IPE) through a systematic review of domestic research conducted between 2018 and 2023. UDL’s three core principles—Representation, Engagement, and Action & Expression—were found to enhance participation and inclusion by addressing diverse learner needs. The findings indicated that UDL-based strategies improved comprehension, fostered positive attitudes toward diversity, and promoted meaningful participation for students with and without disabilities. However, challenges such as limited teacher expertise, insufficient resources, and a lack of large-scale research hindered broader implementation. This study highlighted the potential of UDL to transform IPE and recommended targeted teacher training, infrastructure improvements, and further empirical research to support equitable and inclusive educational practices.
