Through statistical analysis, the author examined the overall situation of sports training and PsyCap of college students, and explored the difference in the two factors among college students from different grades. The correlations between the two factors were obtained through stepwise multiple regression analysis. The results show that, for college students, the number of exercise times per week, the duration of each exercise, the exercise intensity, and the exercise phase are all significantly positively correlated with the total scale and each dimension of PsyCap, indicating that appropriate and moderate sports training is helpful the PsyCap construction of college students. The research results provide a new reference for PsyCap construction through sports training.
