To achieve the objective and validate the hypothesis, a diagnosis is made, through a Google form to collect information and investigate the student's deficiencies in the subject of augmented reality and athletics. For the design phase, dynamic and effective teaching strategies were implemented to integrate content and tools according to the identified needs. An exploration phase in which precise instructions are given on how to download the different applications based on augmented reality. An application phase, where the relevance of student learning on the subject of athletics is tested and finally the organization of results, where a detailed analysis of the research is carried out, thus giving the verification of the hypotheses raised and the formulation of conclusions. With this research, it was possible to conclude that augmented reality is a great tool to improve teaching-learning processes in ​​physical education, since observing the results of the post-test improved the percentages in the different applied variables.
