“…Research indicates that students experiencing optimal mental health exhibit improved cognitive functioning, higher motivation, and better stress management skills, which in turn enhance their engagement in learning and ability to cope with the demands of school life. Conversely, mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and stress-related disorders have been found to negatively affect students' academic performance, attendance, and long-term educational outcomes (Durden-Myers & Mackintosh, 2024). Moreover, the current exam-oriented education system, with its emphasis on academic achievement and intense competition, has exacerbated these challenges by imposing excessive study pressure and mental strain on students, leading to a surge in mental health problems among young learners.…”

This paper attempts to test and analyze students' mental health status through the reform of physical education curriculum setting mode, reveal the changes and characteristics of individual mental health status, and then promote reasonable and effective physical education reform and the integration of psychological education. Furthermore, this article investigates people's mental health using the Apriori algorithm and the BP algorithm, and accurately presents the current condition using data graphs and other approaches, and its accuracy has grown by 20.32%. It also concludes that we should pursue the aims of social adaption and mental health, as well as support improved implementation of the new physical education curriculum. Physical education instruction must be engaging, but it cannot be done in isolation from sports and practice. As part of the new curriculum reform, physical education should be linked with psychological education.

“…The term physical literacy (PL) has been used as a vehicle to raise awareness of the importance of physical activity within societies and populations that are becoming increasingly sedentary over the world [1]. PL is a multi-sectoral concept that transcends health, education, sport, and leisure [2], among others. It is also positioned within education as the "fundamental goal of physical education" [3] (p. 162) [4].…”

(1) Background: Physical literacy is increasing in popularity across the world as a concept central to the promotion of lifelong engagement in physical activity across a multitude of sectors. The education sector has embraced physical literacy as a concept worthy of focus. Physical literacy literature is bold in its claim that physical literacy should be the foundation of physical education. The objective of this paper was to understand the value of physical literacy as the goal of physical education through the lens of the capability approach; (2) Positioning: This research adopted a post-qualitative sensibility whereby knowledge is decentered, favoring the inseparability of ethics, ontology, and knowledge (ethico-onto-epistemology); (3) Discussion: Throughout the discussion, traditional humanist examples are extended to include post-humanism perspectives to offer a more holistic and ecological appreciation of the relationship between capabilities, physical literacy, and physical education, using the ten capabilities of life, bodily health, bodily integrity, senses, imagination and thought, emotions, practical reason, affiliation, other species, play, and control over one’s environment; (4) Conclusions: The paper concludes with the recommendation that the capabilities approach offers a valuable framework for the continued justification of physical-literacy-enriched physical education, which, when aligned, can help to shape the opportunities provided for children and young people in support of their holistic development and lifelong engagement in physical activity.
