Abstract

Abstract

Objective To understand the inter-relationships among COVID-19 risk perception, physical exercise and mental health among college students, and to provide basis for effective mental health promotion of college students under the context of normal epidemic prevention and control. Methods By using a longitudinal design, in December 2021 (T1) and March 2022 (T2), 2 follow-up surveys were conducted among 973 college students from 16 colleges and universities in Zhengzhou, Beijing, Shenyang and Tianjin, by using the Symptom Check List-90(SCL-90), Physical Exercise Rating Scale (PARS-3) and COVID-19 Epidemic Risk Perception Scale. Results There was no significant difference in risk perception of COVID-19 between boys and girls(Z=-1.81, -1.82, P>0.05), while there were cross-group gender differences in physical exercise and mental health variables(T1:Z=-0.98, -4.84; T2:Z=-0.86, -4.64, P < 0.01), with boys were better than girls in physical exercise and mental health; There was a stable and synchronous correlation between the risk perception of COVID-19 epidemic, physical exercise and mental health of college students(r=-0.31-0.54, P < 0.01); Early risk perception of COVID-19 (T1) could predict later physical exercise and mental health (T2) of college students(β=0.30, 0.43, P < 0.01), early physical exercise (T1) could predict later mental health(T2)(β=0.37, P < 0.01), and physical exercise had a mediating effect on the association between COVID-19 risk perception and mental health. Conclusion There is a longitudinal causal relationship between COVID-19 risk perception, physical exercise and mental health. It is of practical significance to improve college physical exercise awareness based on gender.
