Objective This study aims to explore the effect of moderate-intensity physical training on students’ mental health. Methods 100 students presented themselves as research volunteers. The moderate-intensity sport the students played was badminton. Each exercise lasted 30 minutes. A scale was used to detect the students’ emotional changes after exercise. Different intensity exercise programs were formulated according to the improvement in the student’s mood. The mechanism of the impact of moderate-intensity exercise on mental health was also compared. Results Students’ emotional state before the exercise intervention was affected by physical exhaustion. After the exercise intervention, the emotional state of college students was shown to be more resilient to physical exhaustion. The dynamic changes in students’ states before and after the intervention were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Moderate-intensity sports positively affect students’ mental health recovery. Level of evidence II; Therapeutic studies - investigation of treatment outcomes.
