The current time requires a permanent extension of the educational perspective by adapting contents according to the needs and interests of students in order to offer them a multilateral development with diversified skills and abilities, thus helping them to promptly respond to the requirements of the future and ensuring both school and personal success. Through the method of literature review analysis, we aim to argue, from a theoretical point of view, the importance and need for an interdisciplinary approach to physical education during the process of integrated education. We consider it necessary to facilitate the development of a global student by integrating the learning content with an emphasis on physical education in order to develop key competencies that will ensure the qualitative acquisition of information with multiple possibilities for transferring, adapting, and resolving situations required by the current knowledge society. The contributions to the educational area through physical activities implemented in integrated teaching projects aim to improve school progress and social integration, develop a positive attitude towards the educational process and provide creative, effective methods and strategies for organizing the learning content. The topic of this study is focused on both highlighting some models and good practices used by the discipline of physical education in the integrated teaching process as well as their impact on the development of primary school students and providing future directions for the implementation and evaluation of the research-based integrated physical activity.
