Integrating health and physical education in teacher education programs has garnered significant attention recently, driven by the potential to enhance students' overall well-being and instil enduring healthy habits. The study's foremost objectives were to identify health and physical education content within the teacher education curriculum and suggest some guidelines for integrating health and physical education content in the teacher education curriculum. The research was qualitative and a narrative design was used. The research was done using document analysis of teacher education programs. Based on this, findings and conclusions were drawn, and recommendations for further study in the field were suggested. Research findings indicate that the curriculum and content in the teacher education programs have sufficient portions that may help prospective teachers to enable them to handle health and education activities at schools if needed. Teacher education programs are intended to enhance the future teacher’s ability to promote pupils’ health and physical education.
