Objective. As an important content of the modernization of college physical education, the intelligent physical education in
colleges and universities is a main form of the progress and development of college physical education. e authors studied the
influencing factors, design ideas, and model choices of the construction of smart sports in colleges and universities, aiming at
promoting the reform, innovation, and information management of college sports. Methods. e related problems of the
construction of intelligent sports in colleges and universities were studied by the methods of literature and logical analysis. Results.
Smart sports in colleges and universities is a new type of college sports based on information technology. At present, the
construction of smart sports in colleges and universities is still in its initial stage, and there are many problems. e construction of
smart sports in colleges and universities not only highlights the charm of college sports and expands and enriches the connotations
of college sports but also shapes the brand image of college sports with health. e influencing factors of thedevelopment of smart
sports in colleges and universities mainly include macro development environment, decision-makers’ behavior, and government
support. In the process of the construction of smart sports in colleges and universities, the overall planning and design should
follow certain overall ideas and specific ideas, and new development models of smart growth, demand, integrated governance, and
integrated development can be chosen. Conclusion. As a refined management method of college sports, smart sports in colleges
and universities is of great significance to innovate and deepen the reform of college sports. We must always pay attention to the
development dynamics of relevant factors and understand the development trend of smart sports in colleges and the change of
influencing factors, so as to seize the opportunity, timely adjust and change the development model of smart sports in colleges and
universities, accurately improve the physical health of college students, and promote the intelligent development of college sports.
1. Introduction
With the improvement of mechanization, electrification,
and automation of the society, the popularity of modern
means of transport, as well as the development of infor-
mation technology, college students engaged in all kinds of
manual labor opportunities, and time is greatly reduced;
combined with the academic burden, social competition and
environment change bring them pressure increases, along
with the college students having less time for sports activ-
ities. Because of the influence of high intensity pressure and
insufficient physical exercise, there are huge hidden dangers
in the body and mind of college students. According to
relevant data, the physical health of college students has been
declining, and most of them are in subhealth condition.
With the in-depth development of national fitness and
sunshine sports in China, as well as the issuance of a series of
documents to promote the physical health of college stu-
dents, more and more college students gradually realize that
physical health is the root of everything, and physical ex-
ercise is a positive healthy lifestyle.
College sports, as an important part of college education,
are the core way for college students to get healthy and also a
main form of campus culture. At present, there are some

problems in Chinese college physical education, such as the
reduction of the evaluation standard, the dislocation of the
physical education curriculum reform, and the decline of
students’ physical quality. ere is still insufficient attention
to physical education in schools; in addition to teachers’
inaccurate positioning of physical education classes, stu-
dents do not know how to practice independently, sports
competitions still only cover a small part of the population
and other problems, and there is also insufficient promotion
of physical health, will temper, and personality integrity of
college students. In the face of these problems, we should
consider the value and responsibility of university sports
from the aspects of strengthening and improving the work of
university sports, innovating the development model of
university sports, and deepening the reform of university
sports, so as to eliminate the confusion of university sports,
solve the problems of university sports, and seek the sus-
tainable development of university sports [1]. With the rapid
development of next-generation information technologies
such as the Internet of things, cloud computing, big data,
and artificial intelligence, Sam Palmisano, CEO of IBM, put
forward the concept of “smart planet” at a United States
business leaders roundtable in January 2009. When “smart
planet” spread to China and extended to sports, the concept
of “smart sports” appeared, and when it extended to college
sports, it became “smart sports in colleges and universities”
[2]. It is the common choice of most universities in the world
to combine university sports with information technology.
With the help of information technology, most colleges and
universities have produced a batch of new college sports
which realize the transformation and development of college
sports by information technology, namely, college smart
sports, which has also become an important driving force to
improve the soft power of college sports. To promote the
development and transformation of university physical
education through information technology is one of the
main experiences of the development of university physical
education in the new information age, which is used by more
and more universities.
Smart sports in colleges and universities refers to the
widespread use of the Internet of things, cloud computing,
mobile Internet, big data, artificial intelligence, and other
new generation information technologies to improve the
automation and intelligence level of university sports re-
sources, planning, construction, management, service, and
production, so as to make the operation of university sports
more efficient and agile with low carbon. Intelligent physical
education in colleges and universities is the advanced stage
of college physical education informatization after electronic
college physical education and also the important direction
of college physical education informatization transforma-
tion and development [3]. Smart sports in colleges and
universities not only includes sports venues, running tracks,
fitness greenways, and other infrastructure but also includes
a new generation of information infrastructure, smart
government, smart teachers and students, and smart sports
development environment. With the theme of “intelli-
gent + sports,” it makes extensive use of information tech-
nology to carry out intelligent teaching, training, after-
school exercise and competition, and other sports activities
and accurately provide corresponding sports culture, sports
facilities, and sports services. For example, smart teaching,
smart fitness, smart venues, and other programs enable
students to “predict” before class, “perceive” in class, and
“detect” after class and realize the three functions of preclass
multimedia microcourse electronic resource preview, in-
class interactive teaching, and after-class microcourse sports
guidance [4]. Smart sports in colleges and universities aims
to more accurately meet the needs of college students for
physical exercise, physical and mental health, and pleasure.
It can be predicted that the smart sports in colleges and
universities will become the focus of the informatization
construction of college sports in China and the main trend of
the development of college sports at present and even in the
future, and it is of great significance to the physical and
mental development of college students and the connotation
construction of college sports. However, the construction of
intelligent sports in colleges and universities is still in its
infancy, and there are still many problems. e main
problem lies in its late start, lack of development experience,
and heavy reliance on the development model of other
industries. In addition, there is less investment in smart
sports in colleges and universities, which is often poorly
made and unsatisfactory in planning, management, service,
and products. In addition, the service form is single, the
utilization rate of college students is low, the derivative
industry of theme products has not yet formed, and the
hardware equipment and management of college sports
cannot meet the needs of college students. ese problems
have seriously hindered the further development of uni-
versity sports and information technology industry.
Intelligent sports in colleges and universities is an im-
portant part of college sports, and its construction quality
affects the fine management and connotative development of
college sports. Smart sports in colleges and universities based
on the new generation of information technologies, such as
big data, internet, and artificial intelligence, not only provide
accurate sports practice places for college students, but also
college students can take physical exercise anytime and
anywhere through smart equipment and informationized
sports resources to accurately improve their physical health.
In terms of college sports, intelligent college sports can
enhance the vitality of college sports, improve the attraction
of college sports, and promote the high-quality development
of college sports [5].
In short, as a product of the integration of tradition and
modernity, smart sports in colleges and universities is an
important way to promote the development and progress of
college sports and sustainable development and an impor-
tant measure to promote the modernization of college sports
governance system and governance capacity. It plays an
important role in establishing the informatization brand and
modern image of college sports. It is a characteristic symbol
of college sports culture, greatly promotes the development
of college sports and information technology industry, and
improves the ideological connotations of college students’
lifelong sports, becoming a new direction of college sports
informatization, health, and sustainable development.

erefore, we should strengthen the research on the theory
and methods of smart sports and promote the domestication
of related products needed for the construction of smart
sports in colleges and universities [6].
2. Methods
At the present stage, faced with many problems in the
development of smart sports in Chinese colleges and uni-
versities, on the basis of summarizing and analyzing pre-
vious studies on smart sports education, the authors mainly
used literature and logical analysis, combined with the
background of smart governance era, and took new infor-
mation technology as an important support. Actively ex-
plore the influencing factors, design ideas, and model
choices of intelligent sports construction in colleges and
universities, so as to provide an important theoretical basis
for promoting the intelligent construction, modernization of
governance capacity, and high-quality development of
university sports.
First of all, this study explains the historical background
and important significance of the construction of smart
sports in colleges and universities, laying a theoretical
foundation for the construction of smart sports in colleges
and universities and enriching the related research fields of
sports in colleges and universities.
Secondly, by analyzing the influencing factors of the
construction of smart sports in colleges and universities, the
paper tries to explore the influencing factors of its devel-
opment, so as to provide reference for further searching for
the design ideas of smart sports construction.
Finally, the paper discusses the model choices of
strengthening the construction of intelligent sports in col-
leges and universities, providing theoretical and practical
discussion for the exploration of the new mode of intelligent
sports construction in colleges and universities.
3. Results
3.1. Influencing Factors of Smart Sports Construction in
Colleges and Universities. Regarding influencing factors of
smart sports construction in colleges and universities, in-
telligent sports in colleges and universities is a sports in-
formation resource built through information technology,
aiming to provide convenient sports culture resources such
as intelligent sports teaching resources, intelligent sports
facilities, online competitions, and virtual sports for college
students. erefore, its emergence and development are
affected by some factors [7]. Based on a large amount of field
investigation data and existing research results of intelligent
sports in colleges and universities, this paper puts forward a
three-factor system for the sustainable development of in-
telligent sports in colleges and universities [8], as shown in
Figure 1.
3.1.1. Macro Development Environment.Macro development
environment refers to the external environment required by
the development of smart sports in colleges and universities,
including the economic strength of colleges and universities,
the demand of smart sports for college students, and the
perception of horizontal competition of smart sports ex-
perience in colleges and universities. e economic strength
of colleges and universities is a major factor affecting the
construction of intelligent sports, which deeply affects the
whole environment and later development of intelligent
sports in colleges and universities. It is mainly manifested in
the following aspects: the construction scale, intelligence
degree, maintenance of facilities and equipment, system
renewal, and development of smart sports in colleges and
universities are restricted by funds. For example, the uni-
versities with better intelligence sports construction in China
are mainly distributed in the relatively developed pearl River
Delta, Yangtze River Delta, Bohai Rim, and Chengdu-
Chongqing economic circle with relatively strong economic
strength, which is determined by economic level. In terms of
the demand for smart sports of college students, the impact
of economic strength of colleges and universities on smart
sports is mainly reflected in the coverage of free wireless
network and the construction of smart sports facilities.
Generally speaking, colleges and universities with better
construction of smart sports have a wide coverage of free
wireless campus network and complete facilities of smart
sports venues. e comprehensive radiating force of intel-
ligent sports in colleges and universities is the influence on
surrounding university sports, including the development
level of university sports, sports information resources, and
sports culture. It will affect the attraction radius of intelligent
sports in colleges and universities, that is, the development
degree of intelligent sports in colleges and universities. e
experience perception image of smart sports in colleges and
universities refers to the overall feeling of college students in
the process of using smart sports in colleges and universities,
including hardware and software. Hardware refers to the
basic equipment, architectural design, and environment of
intelligent sports in colleges and universities, while software
refers to the humanistic atmosphere, including college sports
atmosphere and service attitude. It reflects the characteristics
and comprehensive quality level of the whole college smart
sports as college sports and is the overall impression of
college students and foreign students on smart sports and
especially has an important influence on the decision-
making behavior of college students’ smart sports needs.
3.1.2. Behavior of Decision-Makers. On the basis of macro
development environment, investment decision behavior
and government support behavior will essentially determine
the microenvironment and specific planning and design of
smart sports in colleges and universities. According to
F. Herzburg’s two-factor theory, the guarantee factor and the
incentive factor are the two major factors to promote the
survival and development of intelligent sports in colleges
and universities. Among them, the former can only maintain
survival, while the latter can establish and maintain long-
term competitive advantages of intelligent sports in colleges
and universities and promote the development of intelligent
sports in colleges and universities. So, the behavior of de-
cision-makers has a direct impact on the smart sports in
Mobile Information Systems 3
colleges and universities, and they are directly involved in
both major issues and specific issues and decisions. For
example, there are big problems related to the survival and
development of smart sports in colleges and universities,
such as the implementation direction, development model,
and operation strategy, as well as the specific design deci-
sions of smart sports in colleges and universities, the
implementation of smart sports process management, col-
lege students’ sports incentive mechanism, and sports
management, and other specific problems. e decision-
makers are the indicators of smart sports in colleges and
universities, and their decision-making behaviors will di-
rectly affect the construction and development of smart
sports in colleges and universities. erefore, the decision-
makers should constantly improve their ability to grasp the
development trend of smart sports, and relevant personnel
should also perform supervision and suggestions to deci-
sion-makers.
3.1.3. Government Support. e construction of smart
sports in colleges and universities is a huge investment.
Correspondingly, smart sports in colleges and universities
can also bring about considerable benefits to college sports
and universities. erefore, the government should strongly
support the construction of smart sports in colleges and
universities. In recent years, online teaching, workouts, and
games have been emerging as college sports’ response to
COVID-19. erefore, the Chinese government should
actively build intelligent sports in colleges and universities.
First of all, the government should point out the right di-
rection, actively create a good intelligent sports environ-
ment, and lay a foundation for the intelligent and accurate
development of college sports, so as to reform and innovate
college sports. For example, the government should guide
and encourage the construction of smart campus sports in
colleges and universities, increase investment in smart sports
in colleges and universities, strengthen the construction of
smart sports facilities, and promote the formation of the
sports concept of “smart sports, health first, accurate im-
provement, and charming life” in universities and so on.
Secondly, support should be given to fund, technology,
policy, social security, and other aspects to promote the
large-scale construction of smart sports in colleges and
universities, such as strengthening the research and devel-
opment of smart sports platform in colleges and universities,
improving the smart sports system and relevant laws and
regulations in colleges and universities, actively introducing
foreign advanced models and construction experience, and
cultivating talents in this field. At the same time, increase
investment, expand the scale of smart sports in colleges and
universities, and improve its service quality. In addition,
attention should be paid to the development of intelligent
sports industry in colleges and universities to create unique
intelligent sports in colleges and universities.
3.2. Design Ideas of Smart Sports Construction in Colleges and
Universities. At present, the new generation of information
technology, such as the internet, big data, cloud platform,
and artificial intelligence, has penetrated into all aspects of
society. We should make full use of the new information
technology to build an intelligent service platform to provide
modern public storage, computing and management ser-
vices for the development of college sports, and at the same
time, for teaching, exercise, training, and competition to
provide integrated intelligent services. It is an important way
and urgent demand for the modernization, equalization,

sharing, and high quality development of college sports. In
order to realize the goal of intelligent sports construction in
colleges and universities, we should follow certain ideas.
3.2.1. General Ideas. Intelligent physical education in col-
leges and universities is to promote the sharing of high-
quality college physical education information resources and
improve the quality and level of college physical education
through the application of a new generation of information
technology. To put it simply, the intelligent physical edu-
cation in colleges and universities refers to the intellectu-
alization of the cause of college physical education, which is
the advanced stage of the informationization development of
college physical education. In order to realize the con-
struction of smart sports in colleges and universities, we
should, on the premise of long-term overall planning and
construction, establish a new concept of smart sports eco-
system, implement the cooperative development system of
government, enterprise, university, and society, construct a
planning and management system, and adhere to the de-
velopment concepts of smart growth, market demand, in-
tegrated management, and integrated development. In a
word, we should focus on improving the functions of in-
telligent sports in colleges and universities and the refined
management of university sports, comprehensively improve
the carrying capacity of intelligent sports in colleges and
universities, and promote the high-quality development of
intelligent sports in colleges and universities. In general, the
construction of smart sports in colleges and universities
should combine the sports needs of students and the de-
velopment status of smart sports in colleges and universities
and rely on core resources and culture to build smart sports
in colleges and universities into famous smart sports for
sports, health, and entertainment. See Figure 2.
3.2.2. Specific Ideas. To achieve success in the construction
of smart sports in a university, the key is to have clear overall
construction ideas and guiding principles, and, at the same
time, it cannot be separated from specific ideas. e con-
struction of intelligent sports in colleges and universities
should adhere to the specific ideas of leading ahead, im-
proving quality, intelligent management, and green health.
(1) Top-level design: Adhere to leading and planning
smart sports in colleges and universities. Adhere to
the planning first, complete the spatial planning of
university sports with a high starting point and high
standard, scientifically plan the spatial layout of
stadiums and gymnasiades, and strive to create
modern university smart sports with perfect func-
tions, active people flow, and ecological and envi-
ronmental protection. We will strengthen the design
of smart sports in colleges and universities and build
a smart fitness space for college students and an
ecological space system for smart sports in colleges
and universities. We will strengthen the manage-
ment of smart sports venues in universities and
colleges, explore ways to revitalize idle sports venues,
and encourage the use of inefficient and idle sports
venues through outsourcing and opening them to
society with compensation.
(2) Brand construction: Adhere to quality improvement
to build smart sports in colleges and universities. e

universities” will be fully implemented to improve
the basic weakness of smart sports in colleges and
universities and enhance the comprehensive bearing
capacity of smart sports in colleges and universities.
We will continue to implement the project to smooth
the network of stadiums and gymnasiums, accelerate
the construction of key smart sports projects in
colleges and universities, and promote the smart
construction of stadiums and gymnasiums to make it
more convenient for college students to access and
reserve stadiums and gymnasiums; steadily promote
the updating and upgrading of smart sports in
colleges and universities, strengthen the renovation
of old stadiums and gymnasiums, and improve the
construction of key infrastructure projects such as
stadium facilities and beneficent projects of smart
sports in colleges and universities; vigorously pro-
mote the smart construction and renovation of smart
sports in colleges and universities, such as water,
electricity, and air conditioning; optimize the layout
of green space around stadiums and gymnasiums,
build “green lung” of smart sports in colleges and
universities, and implement construction projects of
green stadiums and greenways; and actively establish
the leading smart sports in colleges and universities
in China, increase investment in infrastructure,
expand the scale of smart sports in colleges and
universities, increase the population of smart sports,
and speed up the high-quality development of col-
lege sports culture.
(3) Smart management: Adhere to the concept of smart
management to promote smart sports governance in
colleges and universities and adhere to the hu-
manized, law-based, refined, intelligent, normalized,
and grid smart sports management concept of col-
leges and universities and improve the ability of
service support. On the one hand, the smart sports
management platform has been introduced to pro-
mote the construction of smart sports in colleges and
universities, and information infrastructure has been
constantly improved to make smart sports in colleges
and universities more orderly, convenient, safe, and
accurate. At the same time, the management system
of smart sports in colleges and universities should be
optimized, and the executive force should be ad-
vanced to effectively improve the management level
of smart sports in colleges and universities. On the
other hand, actively introduce and cultivate sports
service enterprises with standard operation, good
reputation, and excellent service, improve the
management mechanism of smart sports in colleges
and universities, and constantly improve the service
level of smart sports in colleges and universities and
college students’ satisfaction. ird, continue to
consolidate the innovative achievements of smart
sports in colleges and universities, implement social
purchase service management of sports teaching,
training, exercise, events, and venues, and further
improve the image of smart sports in colleges and
universities.
(4) Development trend: To build green and healthy
characteristic intelligent sports in colleges and uni-
versities. In the case of not destroying the campus
ecological environment, unified planning, rational
layout, design based on information technology
“health forest, ecological forest, green road, sports
wind,” and other characteristics of sports functional
area, the development of college students needs
activity space and sports facilities to serve the needs
of college students fitness entertainment. e con-
struction of intelligent sports in characteristic col-
leges and universities should follow the principles of
scientific exercise, rich resources, novel content, and
intelligence, so as to perfect the service of intelligent
sports in colleges and universities. For different levels
of smart sports in colleges and universities, it is
necessary to consider the object of use and scope of
service according to relevant norms and combine the
characteristics of the site to make a design scheme
with relatively perfect functions and local charac-
teristics. For example, some self-service sports fa-
cilities can be provided for those who want to
exercise on the campus of colleges and universities,
with self-service machines to introduce sports items,
sports technology, how to practice, matters needing
attention, etc., to provide personalized sports ser-
vices for college students to exercise independently.
As per guidelines for intelligent sports design in
colleges and universities, based on the above com-
mon design concepts, we should run through such
guidelines or ideas in the design of intelligent sports
in colleges and universities to meet the needs of
college students for intelligent sports in colleges and
universities.
3.3. Model Choices of Smart Sports Construction in Colleges
and Universities. e construction of intelligent sports in
colleges and universities has a certain life cycle and needs
continuous improvement and development. However, with
the development of modernization, the demand for intel-
ligent sports in colleges and universities is becoming
stronger and higher. In order to better meet the needs of
college students, intelligent sports in colleges and univer-
sities need to be constantly updated and improved. Updating
and upgrading the existing ways mainly have three kinds:
reconstruction or further development, the comprehensive
improvement, and function change have some disadvan-
tages, and their focus on the wisdom of colleges and uni-
versities sports artificial environment, facilities, venues such
as the construction of material system, the activity system
and service system, support system, and other factors is
relatively lightly and does not conform to the wisdom of
6Mobile Information Systems
colleges and universities sports promotion. e renewal
model of smart sports in colleges and universities consists of
four parts: smart growth, market demand theory, integrated
development, and integrated governance of smart sports in
colleges and universities. Among them, smart growth guides
the renewal and construction of smart sports in colleges and
universities, demand theory puts forward requirements for
it, integrated development provides a path for its intelli-
gence, and integrated governance promotes its management
[9]. See Figure 3.
In a word, intelligent sports in colleges and universities is
a complex system, which has a close relationship with
various elements of college sports. e transformation of the
development model of intelligent sports in colleges and
universities must be connected with the development of
intelligent sports in colleges and universities.
3.3.1. Smart Growth Model. e “smart growth” theory was
put forward by the American Planning Association in the
late 1990s. It was originally intended to solve many
problems caused by the massive urban expansion in the
United States, such as the reduction of open space, envi-
ronmental degradation, massive waste of land resources,
and lack of community affection. With the development of
this theory and the enhancement of sustainable develop-
ment requirements, “smart growth” has gradually been
applied to other fields, and smart sports in colleges and
universities is one of them. According to the theory, ten
basic principles should be paid attention to in the con-
struction of intelligent sports in colleges and universities
[10]. See Figure 4.
Adopt compact sports architecture design model to
avoid waste of building area. Build a variety of fitness
space and entertainment space, equipped with perfect
sports service facilities, and expand the applicability of the
campus. Strengthen the awareness of campus sports, and
build strong sports characteristics with personality and
attractive campus. Create walking campus, protect the
environment, save energy, encourage college students to
do more outdoor activities, and improve physical fitness.
Protect open spaces such as unused stadiums, campus
scenery, and historical sites. Strengthen the renovation
and renewal of existing stadiums and gymnasiums, and
reduce the demolition and reconstruction or new con-
struction as much as possible. Improve green, low-carbon,
ecological, and environmental fitness, and give priority to
walking and cycling paths. Pay attention to the predict-
ability, fairness, economy, and sustainable development of
development decision-making. Encourage multi-
stakeholder participation and cooperation among gov-
ernments, universities, enterprises, and other
stakeholders. Smart growth is to realize the benign and
intensive development of the economy, culture, and
ecology of smart sports in colleges and universities. In the
transformation of the development model of smart sports
in colleges and universities, we can also refer to the above
principles.
3.3.2. Demand Model. Demand is the direct motivation of
college students’ sports participation and consumption, so
the planning and construction of smart sports in colleges
and universities should fully consider the sports needs of
college students. With the development of human society
and the maturity of college students’ consumption concept,
college students’ demand for college sports has changed
from skimming extensive sports to green, healthy, conve-
nient, and accurate intelligent sports, and college smart
sports is in line with this demand. Maslow’s hierarchy of
needs includes physiological needs, safety needs, belong-
ingness and love needs, respect needs, and self-actualization
needs from low to high. See Figure 5.
Sports are the best means to achieve self-challenge and
self-transcendence, so sports belong to advanced needs.
When the living standard of college students reaches a
certain height, they will need a deeper sense of happiness,
peace, and health, as well as the rich sense of inner life, which
is a general health trend and a trend of breaking away from
psychological illness. erefore, this theme should be fully
reflected in the design process of smart sports in colleges and
universities, so that college students can get close to nature
and highlight themselves, so that college students can
temporarily avoid responsibilities and obligations, get a rest,
eliminate business and panic in daily life, expand physical
skills and abilities, and release pressure and tension, in
addition to avoiding loneliness and interacting with class-
mates to enhance their feelings, so as to gain physical and
mental well-being and promote the healthy development of
both body and mind.
3.3.3. Integrated Governance Model. Intelligent physical
education in colleges and universities is the product of the
intersection and combination of college physical education
and information technology. Structurally speaking, the
theme integrates teaching, exercise, competition, and en-
tertainment, which should meet the needs of people of
different ages as far as possible. From the perspective of
content, intelligent sports in colleges and universities can
meet the sports needs of various types of college students
because of its complex system, various contents, and di-
versified projects. erefore, intelligent sports in colleges
and universities must have a complete set of service systems
and governance models. Strategic governance is a more
practical governance model at present and also the inevitable
trend of the long-term development of the theme. In essence,
colleges and universities seek to establish and maintain
sustainable competitive advantages based on the future
situation. e existence and development of intelligent
sports in colleges and universities are influenced and re-
stricted by many factors, which are changing constantly. In
order to better adapt to the changes of external environment,
intelligent sports in colleges and universities must pay more
attention to the play of internal resources and ability ad-
vantages and determine the development strategy on this
basis. e strategic governance of intelligent sports in col-
leges and universities includes a comprehensive sports

ese factors and their changes should be fully con-
sidered in the implementation of smart sports governance in
colleges and universities. We can use SWOT to analyze the
opportunities and threats of the external environment, as
well as the internal advantages and disadvantages, which is
more scientific and important in the integrated governance
of college sports. According to SWOT analysis, the con-
struction of smart sports in colleges and universities can
choose general competitive strategies such as cost leadership,
content differentiation, personalized service, or demand
concentration. With the development of smart sports in
colleges and universities and the change of college students’
sports needs, the managers and decision-makers of smart
sports in colleges and universities must always grasp the
dynamics and determine the correct goals for further de-
velopment, that is, decide how to develop in the next step
and how to expand service functions on the existing basis.
3.3.4. Integrated and Innovative Development Model.
Each element of intelligent sports in colleges and univer-
sities is complementary to each other. Its development must
rely on these basic elements, such as information tech-
nology, stadium facilities and intelligent sports develop-
ment environment, and its development is inseparable from
related elements, such as the government, colleges and
universities, teachers and students. On the contrary, the
development of smart sports in colleges and universities can
also promote the development, optimization, and im-
provement of all basic elements, and bring economic,
ecological, cultural, and convenient benefits to all relevant
elements (see Figure 7).
Intelligent sports culture in colleges and universities has
strong cultural characteristics of integration, which is often
impressive. Many college students are attracted by its char-
acteristic culture, which benefits from the organic combination
of sports culture and information technology. In the trans-
formation of smart sports in colleges and universities, sports
culture and new information technology should be fully in-
tegrated, mainly reflected in three aspects. On the one hand,
relying on the infrastructure of smart sports in colleges and
universities and the cultural deposits of sports, it can be
comprehensively promoted and used to realize the intelligent
interaction between college sports and college students. On the
other hand, it realizes the authenticity of sports culture and
makes it accepted by college students. In the development of
intelligent sports platform in colleges and universities, the
theme of “smart + sports” is closely centered, and the intelligent
sports in colleges and universities should be made explicit or a
baptism for the body and mind of college students. In addition,
activities should also be integrated with cultural appreciation,
sports entertainment, and personal participation, so as to
“combine teaching with fun and learning with body,” highlight
the connotation of intelligent sports culture in colleges, and
promote the construction of college sports culture. Strengthen
the development of derivative products and compound
products of intelligent sports in colleges and universities, co-
operate with information technology enterprises, film and
television media enterprises, and sports goods manufacturers
to produce practical products and services, and continuously
attract the participation and use of potential college students. In

the transformation of the development model of smart sports
in colleges and universities, we should keep pace with the
Times, inherit and carry forward the tradition, and combine
with the emerging sports culture, excellent traditional sports
culture, and new information technology, especially the ex-
cellent local traditional sports culture with characteristics,
which should be fully taken into account in the construction of
smart sports in colleges and universities.
4. Conclusion
As an important part of the modernization of college
physical education, intelligent sports in colleges and uni-
versities is a main form of the progress and development of
college physical education. At present, the construction of
smart sports in colleges and universities is faced with great
challenges but also hidden rare opportunities. From the
perspective of relevant theory and practice, macro devel-
opment environment, decision-makers’ behavior, and
government support affect the construction and develop-
ment of smart sports. In the process of the construction of
smart sports in colleges and universities, the overall planning
and design should follow certain overall ideas and specific
ideas, and new development models of smart growth, de-
mand, integrated governance, and integrated development
can be chosen.
With the improvement of college students’ living standard,
quality of life, and health awareness, the proportion of sports in
college students’ daily life is gradually increasing, and college
students’ requirements for it are becoming higher and higher.
As a new product of college sports in the information age,
intelligent sports in colleges and universities is of great sig-
nificance to the innovation of college sports and the deepening
of college sports reform. With the rapid development of in-
formation technology, the development of intelligent sports in
colleges and universities is also facing great challenges. Because
of its characteristics of intelligence, convenience, and precision,
intelligent sports in colleges and universities is favored by
college students, so it needs to keep pace with the Times. We
must focus on intelligent development trend of related factors,
such as information technology, government, schools, teachers
and students, and environment, etc., to understand the de-
velopment trend of intelligent sports in colleges and univer-
sities and its influencing factors, so as to seize the opportunity
to adjust and change the development model of intelligent
sports in colleges and universities, therefore to accurately
promote college students' physical health and promote the
intelligent development of college sports.
