ABSTRACT

Objective@#To explore the influence of sports rehabilitation training on mental health, sports consciousness and sports behavior of disabled college students.@*Methods@#A total of 108 students with mild to moderate physical disability from 6 universities in Tianjin City were selected as the research objects. They were divided into two groups ( n =54) by random number table method. One group was used as a blank control without any intervention (control group). The other group was used for sports rehabilitation training through sports prescription (experimental group). The changes of physical condition, mental health, exercise consciousness and exercise behavior of the two groups before and after intervention were compared.@*Results@#The positive rates of anxiety, depression, interpersonal sensitivity (25.93%, 12.96%, 22.22%) in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group( χ 2=6.64, 4.48, 16.80, P <0.05). Compared with that before intervention, the proportion of college students in the experimental group whose goal was to exercise willpower, assist in treating diseases, satisfy interests and promote health (29.63%, 24.07%, 35.19%) after intervention was significantly increased, and the proportion of college students whose goal was to deal with physical examination (14.81%) was significantly reduced ( χ 2=4.48, 5.65, 5.98, 32.04, P <0.05). Compared with that before intervention, the frequency and time of exercise per week in the experimental group increased significantly after intervention, and the proportion of the main forms of exercise in the experimental group increased, the proportion of low intensity exercise decreased, the proportion of high intensity and medium intensity exercise increased, the proportion of irregular exercise decreased, the proportion of regular exercise increased, the proportion of those who felt good after exercise increased. The differences of each group were statistically significant ( χ 2=17.84, 14.72, 16.34,15.15, 16.12, 9.44, P <0.05).@*Conclusion@#The exercise rehabilitation training for the disabled college students is helpful to strengthen their sports consciousness and improve their sports behavior, so as to effectively improve their physical health, reduce their negative emotions such as anxiety, self blame, allergy and depression, and promote their mental health.
