INFLUENCE OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION ON THE MENTAL HEALTH OF COLLEGE STUDENTS

Abstract

Under the influence of the special education system in China, after entering the free and open college environment from a tightly-controlled high school, many students suffer psychologically from a “weaning period”. During the students’ initial contacts with society, they can simultaneously experience confusion and psychological conflicts in interpersonal communication, perception, emotions, and free will. If these problems persist, they can cause psychological problems. Through field investigation, this paper found that physical exercise can not only improve the intelligence level of students, but also have a positive impact on their emotional and psychological states and their interpersonal skills.
