“…Moreover, the relevant departments of colleges and universities should also make targeted programs according to the characteristics of students in the management of students. On the one hand, the compulsory aerobics courses in colleges and universities can set diversified types of sports according to the demographic characteristics of students, so that college students can make diversified choices according to their conditions [ 27 ]. Besides, relevant departments of colleges and universities should also actively promote extracurricular sports and carry out sports activities regularly or irregularly to encourage college students to integrate into the group and relieve the pressure of study and interpersonal aspects.…”

Objective. In recent years, people’s living standards have been greatly improved, but at the same time, it also brings many health problems, among which mental health problems and sleep problems of college students are important problems. The aim of the study is to explore the effect of physical activity intervention on college students’ mental health and provide a new way of thinking for colleges and universities to carry out mental health interventions. Methods. This paper focuses on the physical health problems of college students and explores the relationship between aerobic exercise, emotion, and sleep quality among college students. The SPSS statistical method was used to analyze the differences in aerobic exercise, emotion, and sleep quality among college students in terms of demographic variables; to explore the relationship between aerobic exercise, emotion, and sleep quality; and to construct a structural equation model using the relationship between them. Results/Discussion. This study explores the relationship between aerobic exercise and sleep quality and psychological health of college students, further analyzes the path model of the role of aerobic exercise and psychological health on sleep quality of college students, and verifies it through experiments, which proves to help universities and relevant departments understand the current situation of exercise and sleep quality of college students and provide timely and effective design of mandatory aerobic exercise courses for college students who lack exercise and have sleep problems. At the same time, it helps college students to understand their sleep situation and adjust their aerobic exercise courses according to their sleep status.

“… Coffman & Gilligan, 2002 ; Lee et al, 2016 ). However, the underlying mechanism in which life satisfaction internalize sleep disturbance has not answered clearly ( Kim & Ko, 2018 ; Wang & Boros, 2020 ), especially for university students ( Lund et al, 2010 ), although the important role of sleep for well-being and quality of life has been documented for another groups, such as elderly people ( Kim & Ko, 2018 ; Zhi et al, 2016 ), athletes ( Litwic-Kaminska & Kotyśk, 2017 ), Parkinson's disease caregivers ( Perez et al, 2020 ), and euthymic patients ( De la Fuente-Tomás et al, 2018 ). Thus, more studies examining the linkage between sleep problems and life satisfaction in university students is needed.…”

Background/Aim The need for alternative methods to prevent physical inactivity and related problems is increasing day by day due to the prevalence of physical inactivity among university students, especially in the pandemic. This study aimed to investigate the effects of a hybrid telerehabilitation exercise program on the physical inactivity, poor sleep quality and physio-mental negativities caused by the pandemic in university students. Materials and Methods The study was completed with sixty-three physically inactive students with poor sleep quality, divided into two groups. The physiotherapist made all assessments at baseline and after the 6-week for both groups. Assessments consisted of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Short Form-12 (SF-12), and International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF). While no exercise program was applied to the control group, one session synchronous exercise training and one session control education were given to the exercise group. After two synchronous training sessions, the exercise group asynchronously continued the exercise program including indoor walking, flexibility and strengthening exercises for 6 weeks. Results According to inter-groups analysis, PSQI (p=0.026), BDI (p=0.037), SF-12 Mental (p=0.007), and IPAQ-sitting (p=0.003) of the exercise group had significant differences compared to the control. Also, the exercise group's PSQI, BDI, SF-12, and IPAQ-sitting time were p<0.001, while no change was observed in the control group in the within-group analysis (p>0.05). Conclusion Hybrid telerehabilitation exercise programs are a valuable, simple, and practical tool to improve sleep quality, prevent inactivity, develop and protect mental health among university students. Encouraging physically inactive people to engage in such methods may be one of the primary preventive approach to prevent the future negative consequences.
