Research on the Influence of Physical Education on College Students’ Physical and Mental Health

physical education is an important part of college education and an important means of college students’ self-health, body-building and mental health.  With the upsurge of national fitness, physical education has been paid more and more attention in college education, and is being accepted by more and more college students.  Regular physical exercise can improve the physical quality of college students, promote their physical development, and help to improve and regulate the emotional and psychological quality of college students.  Through a large number of investigations and analyses, this paper explores the positive impact of physical education on the physical and mental health of contemporary college students.  It is hoped that colleges and universities will pay more attention to the research of physical education, so as to attract more college students to pay attention to the study of physical education courses.
