Background: Studies have shown that the comprehensive prevalence of mobile phone dependence among college students has been increasing year by year. Physical exercise has strong benign psychological benefits and significantly improves negative emotions. It not only improves physical and mental health, but also improves social adaptability. Purpose: This study will investigate the physical exercise and mobile phone dependence of college students, and verify the relationship between the three from the symptoms of mental health. The hypothesis will provide a theoretical basis for physical exercise to effectively intervene in mobile phone dependence. Methods: The sample includes a total of 1385 college students from a university in a province in China, including freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. Using the "Mobile Dependence Index Scale" compiled by Leung, "Clinical Psychological Symptom Self-Rating Scale", and "Survey on the Status Quo of College Students' Physical Exercise", a stratified cluster random sampling of 1,500 freshmen, sophomores, and juniors in school The method selected five classes of each grade for questionnaire surveys, and recovered 1385 valid questionnaires, with an effective recovery rate of 92.3%. The internal consistency coefficient of the total scale is 0.97, and the internal consistency coefficient of each subscale is above 0.69. The psychological symptom scale can accurately measure the individual's mental health, and the positive judgment rate is 80.6%. Results: 1. The detection rate of male mobile phone dependence is 25.7%, and the detection rate of female mobile phone dependence is as high as 72.4%. 2. Physical exercise time (within 30 minutes, 31-60 minutes, 61-90 minutes, 91 minutes or more each time) is inversely proportional to the average number of cell phone dependent scores of various factors. The longer the exercise time, the smaller the average value. ; Exercise time has a significant impact on the factors and total scores of mobile phone dependence (out of control F=2.695, P<0.05, withdrawal F=3.785, P<0.01, avoidance F=2.282, P<0.05, low efficiency Sexuality F=3.885, P<0.01, mobile phone dependence total score F=3.856, P<0.01). 3. The frequency of physical exercise (0 times a week, 1~2 times, 3~4 times, 5 times or more) is inversely proportional to the average score of the mobile phone depending on each factor. The more exercises per week, the smaller the average score. ; Exercise frequency has a significant impact on the factors and total scores of mobile phone dependence (out of control F=3.889, p<0.01, abstinence F=3.875, P<0.01, avoidance F=2.652, P<0.05, inefficiency F =3.889, P<0.01, mobile phone dependence total score F=4.598, P<0.01). 4. Physical exercise intensity (low intensity, medium intensity, high intensity each time) has no significant effect on the factors of mobile phone dependence (failure F=0.752, avoidance F=0.896, abstinence F=0.658, low Effectiveness F=0.663, mobile phone dependence total score F=0.769). 5. Questions 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 15, and 16 in the "Mobile Phone Dependence Index Table" are screening questions for mobile phone dependence. If there are 5 or more items, select "always" or "always". It is judged as a mobile phone dependent person. The higher the score, the more serious the mobile phone dependence. The survey was divided into mobile phone dependent students and non-dependent students to compare the levels of mental health from various factors of psychological symptoms. The results showed that the two groups of students had a highly significant difference in the total score of psychological symptoms (T=4.876, P<0.01); the specific manifestations were in somatization (T=5.477, P<0.01), interpersonal relationship (T=4.612, P <0.01), depression (T=3.385, P<0.01), anxiety (T=3.981, P<0.01), paranoia (T=3.378, P<0.01) factors have highly significant differences; in obsessive-compulsive symptoms (T=3.461) , P<0.05), hostility (T=1.986, P<0.05), fear (T=2.261, P<0.05), psychiatric (T=2.311, P<0.05) factors have significant differences. The average score of each factor of psychological symptoms of mobile phone dependent students (significantly higher than that of non-mobile phone dependent students, indicating that the mental health level of non-mobile phone dependent students is generally higher than that of mobile phone dependent students. 6. The relationship between exercise time and somatization (r=-0.063), obsessive-compulsive symptoms (r=-0.068), hostility (r=-0.078), fear (R=-0.116) was significantly negatively correlated (P< 0.05), and the relationship with interpersonal relationship (r=-0.106), depression (r=-0.107), anxiety (r=-0.117, paranoia (r=-0.155), and psychosexuality (r=-0.137). Highly significant negative correlation (P<0.01); the relationship between exercise frequency and various factors of psychological symptoms is highly significant negative correlation (P<0.01); the influence of exercise intensity on various factors of psychological symptoms is not significant (P>0.05); The relationship between the total score of exercise and the total score of psychological symptoms showed a highly significant negative correlation (P<0.01). Conclusions: 1. The overall detection rate of mobile phone dependence among college students is not optimistic, especially for girls, as high as 72.4%. Colleges and universities should actively implement the relevant policy documents of school sports, and strengthen the prevention and intervention of college students' mobile phone dependence behavior. Actively create a good atmosphere for physical exercise and create an environment for everyone to participate in sports competitions. 2. Physical exercise time and frequency have significant effects on college students’ mobile phone dependence, but physical exercise intensity has no significant effect on college students’ mobile phone dependence. Recommendation: Increase the frequency of college students' participation in extracurricular sports activities and the number of sports competitions. 3. The mental health of students who are not dependent on mobile phones is generally better than that of students who are dependent on mobile phones. There is a significant negative correlation between physical exercise, psychological symptoms and various factors of mobile phone addiction, indicating that physical exercise is helpful to the cultivation of college students' good mood and the formation of healthy psychology, and can reduce the degree of mobile phone dependence of college students to a certain extent.
