The study "Connections in action: innovation and knowledge management for an active future in Physical Education and local development", focused on Oxolot & aacute;n, Tacotalpa, Tabasco, explores the intersection between educational innovation and knowledge management in the context of Physical Education. This work investigates how these strategies can be applied to promote local development and align education with the objectives of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The research is based on the development and implementation of an audiovisual tool designed to inspire educators and students of the bachelor's degree in physical education. This tool serves a teaching medium as a catalyst for the adoption of innovative and effective educational practices. Highlights how these innovative practices can positively influence local development. By fostering a more integrated Physical Education adapted to the needs of the community, the study suggests that stronger connections can be established between education and community development. This not only improves the quality of education but also drives local progress in areas such as health, social well-being, and economic development. The mixed-method study concludes that the incorporation of innovations in Physical Education teaching is key to fostering sustainable local development aligned with global development goals. Thus, this work provides a solid foundation for future research and practices in this emerging field.
