Abstract

Research on the influence of rock climbing physical education courses on college students’ mental health is still insufficient. Taking the rock climbing PE course at Xiamen University as a research object, this paper carries out an in-depth study on college students’ psychological resilience. By using experimental and data analysis methods, this research adopts the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC) to evaluate college students’ psychological resilience before and after the experiment, so as to explore the specific impact of rock climbing PE courses on their psychological resilience.
