Abstract
Enhancing human kinetics and sports science education through interactive virtual laboratories offers Nigerian universities a cost-effective way to overcome challenges like outdated infrastructure. This approach enables students to conduct experiments, analyze movement, and simulate real-world sports scenarios in a digital environment. By integrating virtual labs into human kinetics and epidemiology studies, students can master complex concepts, foster innovation, and apply knowledge practically. These technologies also encourage collaboration between students and teachers, promoting active learning. However, challenges such as the digital divide and the need for teacher training must be addressed. This paper outlines the educational, technical, and infrastructural requirements for successful implementation, drawing on global evidence where virtual labs have enhanced learning outcomes. Adopting virtual laboratories will not only improve academic performance but also position Nigerian universities as leaders in sports education reform, equipping graduates with a competitive edge in the global landscape.
