In the current era where informatization and intelligentization are rapidly converging, new quality productivity, with innovation as its core driving force, leverages the distinctive traits of high technology, high efficiency, and high quality to bring fresh development opportunities to the reform of university physical education. At the same time, it also poses dual challenges at both conceptual and practical levels. This paper is grounded in the theoretical interpretation and practical characteristics of new quality productivity, delving into the intrinsic mechanisms of its interaction with the transformation of physical education in higher education institutions. It establishes a value-oriented direction for university physical education to pursue personalized, efficient, and intelligent development. Through five key dimensions—creating technology-enabled teaching spaces, constructing data-driven diversified evaluation mechanisms, building a multi-perspective modernized education framework, advancing green and sustainable development transitions, and cultivating interdisciplinary talent in sports and technology—the paper proposes actionable innovative strategies. These strategies provide a theoretical foundation and practical guidance for breaking through traditional constraints and achieving quality improvement in university physical education, ultimately fostering high-quality sports professionals aligned with the demands of the new era.
