Abstract
As China advances physical education, higher education increasingly prioritizes professional sportsmanship—encompassing well-being, collaboration, fair competition, and persistence. Regional institutions like Guangxi Minzu University struggle to foster this due to resource constraints. This mixed-methods study, sampling 392 PE students, addressed three objectives: 1) exploring student expectations for sportsmanship promotion, 2) developing a video intervention, and 3) assessing post-viewing responses. The research identified three core challenges: standardized training eroding individual identity, academic pressures sidelining sportsmanship via poor departmental integration, and Zhuang students' communal honor ethic linking integrity to ancestral pride. Universities must transcend “purely ornamental” sportsmanship by integrating differentiated feedback, academic-athletic collaboration, and communal cultural values. The video intervention received exceptional ratings (M = 4.93, SD = 0.25). Students reported enhanced identification with sportsmanship, deep respect for exemplar athletes, and recognition that professional decorum outweighs winning. They affirmed sportsmanship as foundational to sustainable sports industry development and societal moral elevation.
