“…The scale was scored reversely, with higher overall scores representing more severe sleep quality problems in individuals, and the scores were generally in the range of 0-21 points. In past studies, sleep quality questionnaires were commonly used among healthcare workers, high-pressure groups, the older adult, and special sleep disorder groups, and the level of reliability and validity was also high (0.77-0.88), reaching the range defined by social science research (54,55). Using a single entry from the Short Form Health Survey-12 (SF-12) (Overall, what do you think your current health status is?)…”

“…Using a single entry from the Short Form Health Survey-12 (SF-12) (Overall, what do you think your current health status is?) Conduct a Self-rating of your health (55). Participants were asked to rate their perceived health (1 = poor, 2 = fair, 3 = good, 4 = very sound, 5 = very good), categorizing self-rated health scores as ≥3 (good, very good, or excellent) and < 3 (poor or fair).…”

BackgroundNegative emotions in college students are a significant factor affecting mental health, with suicide behaviors caused by negative emotions showing an annual increasing trend. Existing studies suggest that physical exercise is essential to alleviate negative feelings, yet the intrinsic mechanisms by which it affects negative emotions have not been fully revealed.ObjectiveNegative emotions in college students represent a significant issue affecting mental health. This study investigates the relationship between physical exercise and negative emotions among college students, incorporating sleep quality and self-rated health (SRH) as mediators to analyze the pathway mechanism of how physical exercise affects students’ negative emotions.MethodsA cross-sectional study design was utilized, employing online questionnaires for investigation. The scales included the Physical Activity Rating Scale-3 (PARS-3), the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales-21 (DASS-21), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the 12-Item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12), resulting in the collection of 30,475 valid questionnaires, with a validity rate of 91%. Chain mediation tests and Bootstrap methods were applied for effect analysis.ResultsThe proportions of university students engaged in low, medium, and high levels of physical exercise were 77.6, 13.1, and 9.3%, respectively. The proportions of students experiencing “very severe” levels of stress, anxiety, and depression were 4.5, 10.9, and 3.6%, respectively. Physical exercise was significantly positively correlated with self-rated health (r = 0.194, p < 0.01), significantly negatively correlated with sleep quality (r = −0.035, p < 0.01), and significantly negatively correlated with stress, anxiety, and depression (r = −0.03, p < 0.01; r = −0.058, p < 0.01; r = −0.055, p < 0.01). Sleep quality was significantly negatively correlated with self-rated health (r = −0.242, p < 0.01). Mediation effect testing indicated that sleep quality and self-rated health partially mediated the relationship between physical exercise and negative emotions, with total effect, total direct effect, and total indirect effect values of −1.702, −0.426, and − 1.277, respectively.ConclusionCollege students primarily engage in low-intensity physical activity. Sleep quality and self-rated health mediate the impact of physical exercise on students’ negative emotions. A certain level of physical activity can directly affect students’ emotional states and indirectly influence their negative emotions via sleep and self-rated health. Regular engagement in physical activities primarily positively impacts emotional states by enhancing mood stability and overall emotional resilience.
