Abstract

The mental health of college students is an important issue in higher education. This paper mainly explores the correlation between basketball exercise, psychological quality and positive emotions of college students. A total of 1,000 college students were randomly sampled. Halfofthem frequently play basketball, and the other half do not play basketball. Their mental health was measured through a questionnaire survey and statistical analysis. The results show basketball exercise is closely correlated with psychological quality and positive emotions; basketball and other sports should be promoted in colleges to enhance the psychological quality of college students, and the time, frequency and intensity of basketball exercise should be increased among college students. The research results shed new light on the mental health education of college students.
