As regards to the evaluation of the students’ athletic abilities under the modern model of physical education, this research uses both Delphi approach and DEMATEL approach to establish the multi-dimensional assessment index system of the students’ athletic abilities. In addition, the AHP–entropy weighting approach is utilized to identify the integrated weights of the assessment indicators. Based on that, the Cloud Model method will be used to assess the level of the athletic abilities of students from University A. The results of the study showed that sports display and competition, physical condition, sports cognition, technical and tactical use, and safety awareness were the main dimensions for assessing students’ athletic ability, and the corresponding weights were 0.372, 0.222, 0.191, 0.135, and 0.080, respectively. According to the findings, the similarity degree between the comprehensive evaluation cloud and the standard cloud of the “good” level of the students’ athletic abilities is the highest, which is 0.3458. Moreover, the comprehensive evaluation cloud is located between the standard clouds of “medium” and “good”, being closer to the “good” one. It implies that the general athletic abilities of the students in University A can be assessed as “good”. Thus, it can be concluded that the current model of physical education implemented in this university can produce good results.
