ABSTRACT

In recent years, in the context of rapid development in daily life, the mental health issues of college graduates have increasingly attracted people's attention. Among them, psychological resilience, subjective well-being, etc., are important indicators to measure the level of mental health of college students. This article adopts methods such as questionnaire survey and interview to study the psychological resilience and subjective well-being of college students in applied universities in Yunnan Province after exercising. A total of 300 people from three applied universities in Yunnan Province were selected as the research subjects, and a combination of questionnaire and experimental methods was used to conduct a 6-month follow-up survey. A self-designed questionnaire was used to evaluate the psychological resilience and subjective well-being of college students participating in fitness activities. In the exploration of the impact of exercise frequency on subjective well-being, participants who exercise once a week increased their subjective well-being from an initial average of 6.6 points to 7.2 points after 6 months, an increase of 0.6 points. This article found that college students who frequently participate in fitness and bodybuilding exercises have significantly improved their psychological resilience and subjective well-being, especially in areas such as stress resistance and emotional regulation. Through this study, it can provide certain reference for the reform and development of physical education teaching in Chinese ordinary universities.
