Research on the Influence of Physical Exercise Health on the Mental Health of University Students

Exercise has become one of the essential life skills of university students and is also an integral part of physical exercise and mental health. As a positive influence on their physical and mental health, sports can help people to adjust and regulate their emotions and behavior. At the same time, the mental health of university students has been on the decline in recent years. At the university level, students tend to develop anxiety, depression and other emotions and problems, and temptations of all kinds provide a direction for psychological problems to arise. For university educators, the way to improve the mental health of university students is to study the current psychological situation of university students, identify the symptoms, treat them, and adopt scientific and effective interventions while sports are popular among young people as a positive and fun activity. In order to investigate the relationship between sports health and mental health of university students, the author chose thousands of students in a school as the research subjects using experimental methods and mathematical and statistical methods to conduct physical and psychological tests on the research subjects through different comparative experimental content and data results to explore the impact of sports health on the mental health of university students and using professional data analysis software IBM. The data from the physical health assessment and the psychological health assessment obtained from the school assessment center were analyzed by using the independent sample t-test and correlation analysis method in SPSS Statistics 19.0, so as to investigate the influence of physical health on psychological health.
