Objectives: Taking female college students and non-PE majors in a women’s college as experimental research objects, this paper compares and analyzes the influence of different dimensions of mental health level, and discusses the interaction and relationship between different physical exercises and female college students’ mental health level. Methods: The research was conducted in the form of experiment, and the female college students were randomly divided into three different exercise groups, namely aerobics group, basketball group and table tennis group. The three project groups were carried out under the conditions of basically the same exercise intensity, the same exercise time and the same number of exercises per week. Results: The research shows that the level of mental health changes in different degrees before and after the experiment. After the experiment, aerobics, basketball and table tennis have different influences on the dimension of mental health of female college students. Conclusion: This study suggests that female college students who have no habit of physical exercise should be encouraged to take part in physical exercise, and those who have already taken part in physical exercise should be encouraged to persevere and participate in sports group events properly, so as to improve social adaptability and promote their own healthy development.
