Abstract

In order to study the correlation between college students’ sports participation and mental health, this paper compiles a questionnaire based on the situation of college students’ sports participation, “activity and Meter comparison table” and “Chinese college students’ mental health scale”. Taking college students in Henan Province as the survey object, this paper studies the correlation between college students’ mental health and sports participation. It is found that the Pearson correlation coefficient between college students’ mental health and sports participation is 0.659. There are different degrees of correlation between college students’ sports participation and various factors of mental health. There are gender differences between male and female college students. College students who often participate in sports have better mental health.
