Abstract: The purpose of this study is to investigate prevailing trends and future developments in college physical education, with a particular focus on technology adoption, mental health, integration of emerging sports, and adaptation to diversity. The methodology used includes analysis of existing literature and case studies, complemented by surveys distributed to physical education students and teachers. Key findings indicate an increase in the use of digital technologies in learning, an increased recognition of the importance of mental health within physical education programmes, a gradual integration of emerging sports into curricula and a growing concern for inclusion and accessibility. The conclusions drawn suggest that university physical education is in a phase of significant transformation, with positive implications for the holistic development of students. It is essential that higher education institutions continue to innovate and adapt to the needs of students in order to remain relevant in today's dynamic educational landscape.
