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.

Physical exercise is an important way for college students to maintain their physical health, and life satisfaction is one of the important indicators of college students’ mental health. Therefore, this study aims to explore the relationship between physical exercise and life satisfaction of college students. Additionally, we also seek to demonstrate the chain mediating effects of core self-evaluation and positive emotion on this relationship. A total of 794 Chinese college students, 324 men and 470 women, participated in the study. The participants were 17–25years old (M=19.96±1.54). They completed the Exercise Adherence Questionnaire, Core Self-evaluation Scale, Positive Affect and Negative Affect Scale, and Satisfaction with Life Scale. Results showed a strong positive relationship between physical exercise and life satisfaction and verified the mediating effect of core self-evaluation and positive emotion on this relationship. The results also confirmed the chain mediating model between physical exercise, core self-evaluation, positive emotion, and life satisfaction. It enlightens us that we should pay more attention to the organic combination of students’ physical activities and mental health education.

AbstractDue to its suddenness and unpredictability, COVID-19 caused strife and effects on public mental health, resulting in a surge of negative emotions. The study explores the relationship between physical exercise and negative emotions in home-based college students during the COVID-19 epidemic, as well as the mediating role of resilience, thus providing a new basis for understanding the role of physical exercise in improving negative emotions in college students; A total of 1214 college students were investigated with the Physical Exercise Questionnaire, Negative Emotion Scale and Resilience Scale; Both physical exercise and resilience were significantly negatively correlated with negative emotions in college students (r = − 0.25, − 0.33, P < 0.001), and there was a significant positive correlation between physical exercise and resilience (r = 0.47, P < 0.001). Physical exercise had a direct effect on the negative emotions of college students (β = − 0.14, P < 0.001). Resilience had a partial mediating effect between physical exercise and the negative emotions of the college students, with a mediating effect value of 0.14 and a mediating effect contribution rate of 50.00%; The study found that physical exercise not only directly affected the negative emotions of college students but also improved their resilience by slowing down their negative emotions and promoting their mental health.
