To address existing weaknesses in professional-degree postgraduate education in physical education, this paper proposes the philosophy of &amp;ldquo;Strengthening Professional Foundations and Promoting Interdisciplinary Empowerment&amp;rdquo; and develops a model grounded in professional competence, supported by interdisciplinary capacity, and oriented toward practical innovation. The model promotes a shift from specialized skill training to integrated practical and innovative competence, providing a framework for reforming professional-degree postgraduate education in physical education.</abstract><keywords>Postgraduates of professional degree in physical education, Strengthening professional foundations, Promoting interdisciplinary empowerment, Practical‑innovation ability, Talent‑training model</keywords></article-meta></front><body/><back><ref-list><ref id="B1" content-type="article"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><p>[1]&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Wang J, 2025, Construction of Discipline of Physical Education With Chinese Characteristics: Course, Characteristics and Prospects.
