Abstract
In the context of modern society, the lack of physical activity among university students is becoming increasingly common and alarming. Instead of maintaining regular exercise habits, many students nowadays spend most of their time studying, using electronic devices, or working part-time jobs. This leads to consequences such as deteriorating physical health and increased risks of non-communicable chronic diseases like obesity, metabolic disorders, or musculoskeletal issues. In addition, academic pressure, achievement competition, unclear career orientation, and unhealthy lifestyles have contributed to the rising prevalence of stress, anxiety, and psychological disorders among students. In this context, physical education emerge as a comprehensive solution - not only contributing to physical improvement, body maintenance, and immunity enhancement - but also effectively supporting students' mental health.
