ABSTRACT

At present, the social competition is fierce, and students are facing great pressure of study and employment, which will inevitably bring negative impact on students' mental strength and endanger students' physical and mental health. The frequent student suicides in recent years are evidence. These tragic cases remind us to strengthen students' psychological education and relieve students' learning pressure in time. Exercise is a good way to relieve stress and plays an irreplaceable role in students' psychological recovery. This paper aims to study the impact of sports APP on the mental health of college students, hoping to use good physical exercise to calm students' bad emotions. This paper proposes a physical exercise program for college students, relying on the sports APP to adjust the physical condition of the students, so as to realize the adjustment of the psychological state. The experimental results of this paper show that sports APP can adjust the mental health level of college students and reduce the incidence of negative emotions by 20%.
