Against the dual background of the "Healthy China 2030" strategy and the reform of school physical education in the new era, university physical education, as the core battlefield for cultivating students' physical and mental health, generally faces practical difficulties such as "emphasizing skill teaching over emotional experience", "formalized interaction, and insufficient participation". This article takes emotional learning theory as the core support, and through literature research, survey research (targeting 500 students and 15 physical education teachers from 10 universities across the country), and case analysis, systematically sorts out the core connotation of emotional learning theory and its logical fit with university physical education interactive teaching. It deeply analyzes the current situation and causes of emotional deficiency in teaching, and finally constructs a three-dimensional interactive teaching strategy system of "cognition experience regulation", and proposes a phased implementation path and supporting guarantee mechanism. Research has shown that emotions are a key link in activating sports interaction and improving teaching effectiveness. Interactive teaching strategies based on emotional learning theory can effectively awaken students' emotional cognition, deepen emotional experience, and enhance emotional regulation abilities in sports learning, providing theoretical references and practical paradigms for promoting the reform of university sports teaching and implementing the "student-centered" educational concept.
