Physical fitness test results indicate a decline in students’ overall physical conditioning. In response to the requirements for PE evaluation reform in the new era, this study draws on the university’s practical experience in curriculum reform to explore pathways for constructing a multi-dimensional evaluation system. The research proposes incorporating ideological and political education content into final theoretical examinations and establishing a long-term implementation mechanism. At the same time, it recommends aligning physical health monitoring with course learning and final assessments, strengthening the supervision and evaluation of extracurricular exercise, and utilizing the integrated in-class and extracurricular curriculum model to enhance students’ physical fitness and sports-specific skills. Through the interconnection of in-class teaching and extracurricular activities, and with physical fitness monitoring serving as a key indicator for evaluating curriculum effectiveness, these two components work in synergy to support students’ acquisition of sports skills and the development of consistent exercise habits. This ultimately aims to improve overall physical health levels, providing both practical and theoretical insights for the evaluation system of PE courses in higher education.</p> Zhuonan Huang Chaoqun Huang Copyright (c) 2025 Author(s) 2025-12-12 2025-12-12 9 12 7 12 10.26689/jcer.v9i12.13071
