The main battlefield for schools to cultivate students' core literacy is the classroom

especially in physical education classes. It is crucial to develop students' core literacy through teaching

and the primary task is to optimize the teaching design. This paper adopts research methods such as literature review and logical analysis to study the significance

predicament and countermeasures of the innovation of physical education teaching in colleges and universities under the background of core physical literacy. Research suggests that under the background of core sports literacy

the innovation of physical education teaching in colleges and universities is a key element in implementing the principle of fostering virtue and nurturing talent

promoting high-quality talent development

and serving the construction of a healthy China and a sports power. However

in the current teaching in colleges and universities

there are problems such as the disconnection between the target system and core literacy

serious homogenization of course content

traditional teaching methods

develop modular courses

innovate teaching methods

and build a teaching evaluation system featuring the collaboration of multiple subjects.
