Introduction In the modern life style of civilization, health has been referred to a new height.Before this, in 1948,the World Health Organization put forward a clear and comprehensive definition of modern health: “Health is not only of well-being and pathological phenomenon, but also a physical,psychological,social completely just fine.” accordance to this, scholar Zhang (1993)sums up the health in two parts:one is physiological health,namely that there is no physical defect or illness and the physiological status is complete.The other is mental health.That is to say,the optional status of individual psychology can be kept in the range of its own and environmental conditions,which reflects the importance of mental health. College students mental health has its own features due to their age.They spend most of their time on study and only a little of time to touch the society.According to this and domestic and foreign experts and scholars views, Li Lie reduces the standard of college students mental health to five points: first, loving life and study; second,stable emotions; third,will sounds; fourth,accepting themselves; fifth, good interpersonal interaction; sixth, accepting reality and adapting to the environment.College students mental health has been a very essential problem to do research.Motivated by the former instruction , my study aims to address the benefits of sports to college students mental health.2. Literature review2.1 The present status of college students In a survey of college students mental health, the result shows that college students are more likely to cause mental health. It is cheerless and not to be neglected.2.1.1 Strangeness to new environment After college entrance examination, many students would begin their college life in far places. As a freshman, they leave their hometowns, can not enjoy considerate care from parents and the new environment is strange for them, so they are not able to adapt to the independent life at once. On the other hand, it is totally different between college and middle school in study environment and methods. It is inevitable for some students to engender anxiety.2.1.2 The drop between ideal and reality Before entering college, students tend to expect their ideal college and college life.However, after the college entrance examination , some of them can not be admitted to their ideal colleges due to grades or parents will. Certainly, some expect too much for colleges. College life is not as perfect as their ideal. They are not incapable to accept the drop.2.1.3 The press from study and life Some students majors are not ones that they are not interest in, and thus they are likely to lose the motivation to study,lead to press from study. Meanwhile,as senior students, some of them prepare to take part in the entrance for postgraduate schools. Those are eager to apply for civil service. Statistical data from Ministry of Education, the number of having the postgraduate exam and applying for civil service climbs quickly from 2004 to 2014.2.1.4 Lack of interpersonal skills Interpersonal interaction is one of most important parts in college life.It affects your popularity and the number of friends you make and the activities you participate in. To some extent, it reflects college students adaptability to the society in the future. Some students pay much attention to their study and ignore the interaction. So they do not express their feelings properly, which lead to loneliness and depression. It follows that good presentation and interpersonal interaction are a must.2.1.5 Negative impact of divorce family and single-parent family Some students of mental illness are related to their parents on their childrens attitudes and discipline.2.2 Former achievements on the effects of sports There are some researches on the influences of sports. Tian (2003:39) believes that the positive significance of sports was that it could effectively interfere with people life, prevent various chronic diseases and delay the arrival of illness due to civilization. So it contributed to satisfy the requirements for health promotion. Sports promote the intellectual development and ability. American Doctor Yu in a survey finds that the students who persist in 20-minute running or aerobics every day got better academic records than those who did not. Furthermore, physical activity helps students to develop and improve their personality. It is a good form in mutual interaction. Zhu (2012:01) holds that sports is favored of contribution to college students interaction and it could provide an appropriate occasion for college students interaction. It is also believed that sports help alleviate students press. Xu (1988) shows a point that college students faced fierce and diverse social competition. They needed a reasonable way to vent. Sports was just the way for the negative emotions. All above have their own achievements. The Health Center of American University put forward a definition: individual owns real health with the health in body, intelligence, spirit and social contact. However, it is obvious that college students suffer from mental barriers, so the research aims to discuss deeply the benefits of sports to college students mental health. It is hoped that it can better improve the college students mental health.3. Methods3.1 Participates Participates in this study were 100students in a department of my college, including 60 males and 40 females.3.2 Instrument3.2.1 Questionnaire This study adopted a questionnaire. The questionnaire was made according to the research contents and purpose and under the supervision of the tutor in order to guarantee its validity. 100 questionnaires were given away to learn about the students sports situation.3.2.2 Mental health rating scales To meet the research, mental health rating scales were used. T he author chose Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and Self-supporting Personality Scale (SSPS).SAS was made by Chinese American Zung (1971) and had 20 items . It adopted four grades, mainly rated the frequency of symptoms. The standards were as following: no.1 never or seldom; no.2 sometimes; no.3 most of time; no.4 almost or always. Among the 20 items, there were 15 items narrated by negative words , rated by from no.1 to no.4, while the rest items ( the fifth, ninth, thirteenth, seventeenth, nineteenth) were narrated by positive words, rated by opposite order. Total points were its main statistical indicators. The total sum of 20 items was raw score and then raw score multiply by 1.25, so the standard point could be got. Fifty point was the cut-off point of anxiety symptom. SSPS included Interpersonal Independence Scale and Personal Independence Scale. Interpersonal independence scale consists of 20 items, namely interpersonal independence, interpersonal initiative , interpersonal responsibility, interpersonal flexibility and interpersonal openness; personal independence scale divides into five part
