To improve the attention loss of P.E. students in e-learning, the study used the qualitative analysis method of grounded theory. The study conducted in-depth interviews with 32 P.E. students who had attention problems in online learning, and applied NVivo11 analysis software for coding and analysis. The attention of students in online learning is negatively influenced by seven internal and external factors, and their attention will be disturbed, shifted, scattered, and weakened etc. Among them, the influence of network and platform, and the instability of the physical environment are the direct reasons for the inattention in online learning of P.E. students. The poor quality of online classes is the main reason for the inattention in online learning at university. The lack of intrinsic learning motivation, the lack of learning engagement, and the lack of metacognitive ability are the fundamental reasons for the inattention in online learning of P.E. students. Visual and mental fatigue are the real reasons for the inattention in online learning of P.E. students. The attention loss of P.E. students in e-learning is the result of multiple factors.
