Mental health is a very active field in psychological research at home and abroad. According to the theory of body-mind interaction, physical health is closely related to mental health. At present, China's national fitness has also become a hot research field, and the relationship between physical exercise and mental health has been paid more and more attention. The author discusses the relationship between physical exercise and mental health.
2 Physical exercise promotes mental health
Physical exercise, as an effective means to improve physical health, will inevitably promote mental health. The test of this hypothesis first comes from clinical psychology. Some psychogenic diseases (such as peptic ulcer, essential hypertension, etc. ) not only relieved their physical diseases, but also improved their psychology with the help of fitness activities. At present, some innovative and valuable conclusions have been made in the research of physical exercise promoting mental health.
2. 1 Physical exercise can delay the aging of the body.
Physical exercise is a proactive activity process. Regular physical exercise can improve the central nervous system of human body, improve the coordination of excitation and inhibition of cerebral cortex, and strengthen the alternate conversion process of excitation and inhibition of nervous system, thus improving the balance and accuracy of cerebral cortex nervous system, promoting the development of human perception, improving and improving the flexibility, coordination and reaction speed of brain thinking, and delaying the aging of the body. In addition, physical exercise can also relieve muscle tension and daily life tension, improve the tolerance of brain cells, reduce the level of anxiety, relieve the internal mechanism of tension and improve the working ability of the nervous system.
2.2 Physical exercise can improve self-awareness and self-confidence.
Physical exercise in the process of individual sports activities, due to the different content, difficulty and objectives, contact with other individuals involved in physical exercise will inevitably evaluate their own behavior and image ability, while individual active physical exercise activities will generally promote positive self-perception. At the same time, most of the contents that individuals participate in physical exercise are selected according to their own interests and abilities. They are generally well qualified for the contents of physical exercise, which is conducive to enhancing their self-confidence and self-esteem, and can seek comfort and satisfaction in fitness activities. Through the investigation of 200 middle school students randomly selected in Jiangxi Province, the author shows that students who often participate in fitness activities have higher self-confidence than those who do not, which shows that physical exercise has an influence on the establishment of self-confidence.
2.3 Physical exercise can increase social interaction.
Physical exercise is conducive to strengthening and improving interpersonal relationships. With the development of social economy and the acceleration of the pace of life, many people living in big cities are increasingly lacking appropriate social connections, and the relationship between people tends to be indifferent. Therefore, physical exercise has become the best means to enhance interpersonal communication. By taking part in physical exercise, people fight as a team, which makes people feel close to each other in the process of cooperation, meets the needs of individual social communication, enriches and develops people's lifestyle, and helps individuals to alleviate the troubles brought by work and life, and relieve mental stress and loneliness. And in physical exercise, find like-minded bosom friends. Thereby bringing psychological benefits to individuals and helping to strengthen and improve interpersonal relationships.
2.4 Physical exercise helps to eliminate fatigue.
Fatigue is a comprehensive symptom, which is related to human physiological and psychological factors. When a person is in a negative mood when engaged in activities, or when the requirements of the task exceed the individual's ability, physical and psychological fatigue will soon appear. However, if you maintain a good emotional state and ensure an appropriate amount of activity in physical exercise, it will help to eliminate fatigue. Research shows that physical exercise can improve physiological functions such as maximum output and maximum muscle strength, which is beneficial to eliminate fatigue. Therefore, physical exercise plays a particularly significant role in treating neurasthenia.
2.5 Physical exercise can treat mental illness.
Physical exercise can bring the warmth of the group and the emotional experience of winning the competition, and cultivate students' subjective consciousness and lively, cheerful and positive cooperative spirit, which many other learning activities can't achieve. Appropriate physical exercise can make students' bad emotions and psychological depression be vented in a reasonable form, so that students' psychological state can be balanced and relieved, thus alleviating and eliminating psychological fatigue and depression, promoting college students' mental health, and thus achieving the effect of treating psychological diseases.
3 mental health is conducive to physical exercise
Mental health is beneficial to physical exercise, which has attracted people's attention. Dr Herbert from the Medical College of the University of Southern California once did an experiment: 30 elderly people suffering from tension insomnia were divided into three groups: group A took 400 mg of carbamate sedative. Group B did not take medicine, but happily took part in some favorite physical exercises. Group C didn't take medicine, but was forced to take part in some physical exercises that they didn't like. The results show that group B has the best effect, and relaxing physical exercise is better than taking drugs. Group C has the worst effect, so it is better to take sedatives. This shows that the psychological factors in physical exercise will have obvious influence on the fitness effect and medical effect. Especially in competitive competition, psychological factors play an increasingly important role in the competition. Mental health athletes are quick-thinking, focused, clear in appearance and quick and accurate in action, which is conducive to the high-level display of competitive ability; On the contrary, it is not conducive to the play of competitive level. Therefore, in the national physical exercise activities, it is very important for people to keep healthy psychology in physical exercise.
3. 1 Have a clear purpose of exercise and a strong desire for fitness.
Before physical exercise, you should have the mood to actively participate in exercise, and you should have the consciousness and enthusiasm to actively participate in exercise activities, so as to avoid that? The passive state of the body against the heart? .
3.2 In the process of physical exercise, we should concentrate and eliminate other thoughts.
In the process of physical exercise, we should concentrate on how to adjust breathing, how to coordinate the joints and muscles of all parts of the body, and how to master the correct action methods.
3.3 Try to make physical exercise easy and interesting.
You can listen to music before physical exercise, or you can find your relatives and close friends to participate in physical exercise together. Encourage each other in physical exercise and create a happy atmosphere.
3.4 Choose those physical exercises that you are interested in.
In particular, we should take part in more outdoor outings, mountain climbing, boating, skating, dancing and other sports activities, and try to combine physical exercise with entertainment.
3.5 Master psychological adjustment methods
Constantly adjust your mind. Psychological adjustment is not mysterious. Everyone can adjust their emotions, moods and wills. For example, before we run, we should take a photo in front of the mirror at home and tidy our hair and collar. Look at your face or stretch your arms and touch your bulging muscles. When I saw that my face was healed and my muscles were strong, I immediately cheered up. This is a positive psychological self-regulation. If you see yourself pale, black eyes and depressed in the mirror, then you think to yourself: You will feel good when you are outdoors. I'm not the kind of person who is depressed and easily surrendered by emotions? . So he straightened his chest and resolutely went out for a run. This is also a positive psychological self-regulation.
