By surveying and analyzing the sleep quality and emotion of 72 college students before and after participat-ing in keep-fit exercises, the author revealed that comparing the college students after and before participating in keep-fit exercises, their Pittsburgh sleep quality index is significant different (P<0.05), and their anxiety and depres-sion values are significantly lowered (P<0.05), which indicates that medium intensity aerobic keep-fit exercises can significantly enhance college students’ sleep quality and effectively improve their anxiety and depression conditions, playing a positive role in their mental health.
