This study is mainly devoted to how physical activity affects the mental and emotional state of students. In the theoretical part, we analyze changes in the central and autonomic nervous systems, as well as in mood, cognitive functions such as memory and attention, stress tolerance, and other aspects of fatigue caused by overwork as a result of regular exercise. The practical part describes a survey of forty students, including the survey methodology, its content, and a summary of all the data. The results show that moderate regular physical activity improves mood, increases overall performance, improves memory and concentration, and at the same time reduces stress and anxiety. The data obtained indicate that physical activity is necessary to maintain the mental health of students.
