With the rapid development of digital technology, digital empowerment has become the core driving force for promoting the reform of university physical education teaching. This study systematically defined core concepts such as digital empowerment, smart sports, and digital sports through literature research and logical analysis, and analyzed the core values of digital empowerment in university physical education teaching in achieving personalized teaching, optimizing teaching processes, improving management efficiency, and promoting resource sharing. Research has found that the current digital transformation of university physical education teaching faces practical challenges such as lagging infrastructure construction, insufficient digital application capabilities of teachers, shallow integration of teaching modes and digital technologies, and risks to data security and privacy protection. Based on this, a "four-dimensional collaboration" implementation path system has been constructed from four dimensions: improving digital infrastructure construction, innovating digital teaching models, optimizing digital management systems, and strengthening the construction of digital talent teams. The research conclusion can provide theoretical reference and practical guidance for promoting the modernization transformation of university physical education teaching and improving the quality of talent cultivation.
