To make the physical education (PE) curriculum model more intelligent, a new PE curriculum model based on PE cloud computing was investigated. The basic framework of cloud computing and "PE education cloud" were discussed. The operation mode of "PE cloud" was designed, including registration, data entry, course mode and teaching content. Then a comparative analysis of "PE education cloud" and the traditional mode was made. Our analysis demonstrated that "PE education cloud" could greatly improve the efficiency of physical education classes for students in terms of their physical quality. In conclusion, the development of physical education curriculum should be dedicated to the requirements of students, and resources ought to be allocated on demand. Meanwhile, teaching contents should be more flexible, diverse and efficient.
