The university stage is the last stage for people to receive systematic school education, and it is also the last stage before people enter the society. Most students leave their parents and live and study alone, including the distress from daily life, the contradiction with their classmates, the difficulties and setbacks in learning and the employment pressure brought by graduating from college and entering the society. Therefore, in "How to Improve College Students' Mental Health in College Physical Education Teaching", Gao Dana pointed out that this stage is "the period of greatest psychological change in one's life" [5]; At the same time, we have to deal with psychological problems caused by physiological changes, so we are often in complex psychological contradictions. It is inevitable to encounter all kinds of mental health problems.
First of all, exercise itself will have a positive impact on mental health.
The most important treatment for mental illness is behavioral therapy. Yu Yong's research on "physical education and mental health education" shows that physical exercise plays a great role in promoting mental health because of its own characteristics.
"1, physical exercise can improve cognitive ability.
Every sport in physical exercise requires athletes to make quick and accurate judgments and perceptions of external things, so as to quickly coordinate their bodies and ensure the completion of actions. Engaged in long-term exercise can promote the development of people's perceptual ability, improve people's reaction speed and perceptual judgment ability, and make people agile and flexible.
2. Physical exercise can get a good emotional experience.
Physical exercise can bring smooth emotional experience, which is an ideal state of inner emotional experience. In this state, people can devote themselves to sports and have direct interest and enjoyment from the activity itself, which is an emotional state that cannot be produced in study, homework and communication. Research shows that strenuous exercise can reduce people's emotional burden, and even reduce the psychological burden caused by mental stress accidents.
3. Physical exercise can strengthen "self-concept" and have a positive impact on self-esteem.
"Self-concept" is the sum of individuals' subjective views and feelings about themselves. Self-concept is relatively stable, which plays a great role in adapting to the formation of social personality. A large number of studies show that physical exercise can make self-concept clear.
Significant improvement, muscle strength, emotional stability and extroversion are positively correlated, and individual self-concept is significantly enhanced through strength training.
4. Physical exercise can coordinate interpersonal relationships.
With the development of society and the acceleration of the pace of life, many people feel more and more lack of proper social contact and interpersonal communication. Sports activities are a good form to increase contact between people. In the activity, * * * exercises together, competes with each other, cooperates with each other and communicates with each other, which can make individuals forget their troubles and fatigue, eliminate loneliness, make them feel comfortable physically and mentally, and produce a good emotional state.
5. Physical activity can reduce stress reaction and eliminate fatigue.
Stress refers to the individual's response to stressors or stimuli. Exercise causes the human brain to release a natural synthetic sedative-endorphin, which can block the chemical reactions related to stress in the brain when it works. Research shows that physical exercise can improve physiological functions such as maximal oxygen uptake and maximal muscle strength, thus reducing fatigue.
6. Physical exercise can prevent and treat mental illness.
Anxiety and depression are the most common emotional troubles that students encounter. North et al.' s research in 1990 shows that one-time activities and long-term physical exercise can effectively reduce depression; Physical exercise can reduce trait depression and state depression. Physical exercise can alleviate the depression of normal people and mental patients, while aerobic exercise (low intensity, long time) and anaerobic exercise (high intensity, short time) can alleviate depression. The combination of physical exercise and psychotherapy can effectively reduce depression. " [6]
The teaching process is purposeful and planned. According to the specific teaching content, we can dig out the materials with mental health education, so as to "improve and mediate the psychological state of college students, make them adapt to the heavy study life and pressure from all sides, establish positive ideological and will quality, cultivate students' healthy personality of self-reliance, self-reliance and self-love, and lay a good foundation for success in society." Secondly, sports activities are carried out in a certain social environment, always in contact with the crowd. Efforts should be made to control and restrain one's inner conflicts in activities, which will have a positive impact on cultivating and coordinating interpersonal relationships, expanding social contacts, and observing basic ethics and behavioral norms in public life. " [7] At the same time, through different sports activities and teaching methods and means in the teaching process, psychological contradictions can be alleviated, various psychological problems such as depression and anxiety can be eliminated, psychological state can be adjusted, and psychological balance can be maintained.
