The Function of Physical Education in Promoting the Physical and Mental Health of College Students

By analyzing the current social reality and development trend, this paper gives an analysis of the latent function and obvious function from the perspective of structural function theory, and concludes that if we only emphasize scores and achievements and despise the development of students' physical and mental balance, it will lead to the phenomenon of yin-yang imbalance in talent education and talent training. In order to correct this extreme behavior as soon as possible, we should aim at health and take physical exercise as the starting point to promote the all-round development of students.
