Why can physical education promote college students' mental health?

1. Physical exercise can enhance physical fitness and provide a material basis for healthy personality.

Mr. Ma Yuehan, a famous sports educator, once said: "Sports is the best tool to cultivate a sound personality." Zhang Boling, the pioneer of China Olympic Movement, once said, "Education is incomplete without sports." Physical education can not only strengthen the body, but also embody the function of moral education everywhere. Physical education plays a positive role in cultivating sentiment, enlightening wisdom, magnificent life, cultivating the spirit of unity, cooperation, steadfastness and devotion to friendship, carrying forward the national spirit, and cultivating people's will quality, self-confidence, psychological adjustment ability and healthy lifestyle.

2. Physical education is not only an important part of quality education, but also a comprehensive education through physical education. Without physical education, quality education cannot be implemented. Human psychology is the organism of human brain, which is a part of human body. The development of mental health must be based on the normal development of the body, especially the normal and healthy development of the nervous system and midbrain, and promote the healthy development of the body through physical activities and provide a material basis for psychological development.

3. Physical exercise can strengthen the will and cultivate the will quality of never giving up.

Sports events are generally characterized by hardship, fatigue, fierceness, tension and strong antagonism. When people take part in physical exercise, they are always accompanied by strong emotional experience and obvious will. Therefore, sports itself can cultivate excellent qualities such as being brave and tenacious, hard-working, persistent, overcoming difficulties, witty and flexible, calm and decisive, modest and prudent, United and friendly, cultivate collectivism and patriotism, and keep people in a healthy and upward psychological state. ?

4. Physical exercise can vent bad emotions and exercise good psychological quality.

Due to continuous intense study, college students are prone to physical and mental fatigue and mental weakness. Taking an active part in physical exercise can relax their body and mind and eliminate fatigue. At the same time, in physical exercise, their long-term depressed emotions can be vented by venting. Carrying out large amount of physical exercise has a very obvious effect on relieving people's psychological pressure and eliminating bad emotions.

5. Physical exercise can enhance people's interpersonal communication and promote physical and mental harmony.

School physical exercise is mostly carried out in the form of group activities, which is the most effective means to exercise interpersonal skills. Sports activities are usually formed by the free combination of members on many occasions, and these participants form a special social group through mutual contact in the activities. In the activity, people communicate directly and casually, and the atmosphere is friendly, so it is easy to eliminate the tension in students' communication. This kind of game group is a social group that students leave home to participate in. At first, it is to learn life knowledge and skills and get personality cultivation.
