Abstract

The promulgation of the "Healthy China 2030" Outline has elevated public health to the level of a national strategy, presenting new tasks and missions for physical education in higher education institutions. As a critical component in shaping young people's health literacy and cultivating lifelong exercise habits, undergraduate physical education has seen its traditional paradigm centered on skill transmission and meeting physical education quality standards struggle to meet the demands of the new era for "holistic development" and "active health" in talent cultivation. This paper conducts an in-depth analysis of the three core elements of the "Healthy China" strategy-"promoting comprehensive health," "focusing on lifelong development," and "advocating active participation"-and their value guidance for physical education in higher education. It systematically identifies the current challenges in undergraduate physical education regarding concepts, curricula, models, evaluations, and faculty. The study proposes that reforms should be guided by the overarching goal of cultivating students' "core physical education literacy," establishing a systematic approach encompassing "five dimensions": "goal redefinition, curriculum restructuring, model innovation, evaluation reform, and faculty optimization." Through multi-dimensional safeguard mechanisms such as strengthening top-level design, improving resource conditions, fostering a health culture, and leveraging smart technologies, a profound transformation can be achieved-from "physical" to "educational," from "classroom" to "life," and from "meeting standards" to "cultivating habits"-ultimately serving the construction of Healthy China and the cultivation of high-quality talents.
