The potential for technologies to transform health and physical education (HPE) has received increasing international attention in both policy and academic contexts. However, what is absent from much of this work is a lack of appreciation of the spatial dimension that recognises the relationship between "how" young people use digitised HPE technologies and "where" they use them. Applying Henri Lefebvre's spatial theory, in this narrative review we examine how space is currently treated in existing research on digital HPE technologies with attention to how spaces are perceived, conceived, and lived by young people. Our work demonstrates how the spatial analysis of existing research sheds light on the materiality and power relations inherent in young people's use of digitised HPE technologies. Our review highlights the significance of recognising spatial dynamics in research on 'borders and boundaries' and the transformative potential of digital technologies for learning and education.
