Abstract

In modern society, college students are facing more and more psychological pressure, which has a negative impact on their physical and mental health. However, martial arts, as an ancient and comprehensive form of physical activity, has been shown to have positive effects on mental health. Therefore, it is of great practical value to study the influence of wushu participation on the psychological stress of college students. In this study, 388 students were randomly selected and the collected data were analyzed by descriptive correlation design and SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) software. Overall, participants experienced some level of stress in all three areas, with slightly higher stress in their academic life, lower stress in their social life, and moderate stress in their family life. This highlights the importance of providing comprehensive support, including resources and assistance in academic, social and family matters, to promote the overall well-being and mental health of students. Through the study of the influence of Wushu participation on the psychological pressure of college students, it is found that improving physical fitness, releasing pressure, cultivating concentration and self-discipline ability, and providing social support are of great significance to alleviate the psychological pressure of college students.
