This research aims to find out how empathy is moderated in sports. This research uses techniques that refer to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA). Data was collected using search engines through indexing bases, namely Scopus and Web of Science. Articles are selected based on the keywords"empathy AND sports" listed in the title, keywords, and abstract published in 2024 until 8 July. So we got 28 articles on Scopus and 25 articles on WoS. To anticipate duplication, Mendeley was used to prevent duplicate files, resulting in 48 articles. Inclusion and exclusion criteria were used to screen further, and 10 articles were obtained that met the criteria. Results confirm that empathy is a dynamic and complex process involving multiple temporal phases and neurophysiological responses, and can be enhanced through interactive media. In education, empathy can be enhanced through sensitive teaching, appropriate feedback, innovative programs such as “KorriCan,” and quality services, all of which support social justice and a more humane learning environment. In sports, empathy improves athletes' mental toughness and performance, with higher levels of education also supporting the development of important social-emotional skills. The implication of these findings is that the development of empathy must be the main focus in education and achievement strategies for athletes to achieve optimal results and create an inclusive and supportive environment.
