AB  - OBJECTIVE: To provide both empirical support and a theoretical framework for 
      systematically improving and optimizing the cognitive capabilities of college 
      students through physical activity, while considering the mediating and 
      regulating impacts of self-efficacy and negative emotion. METHODS: The study 
      employed an overall random sampling method, examining 500 college students from 
      five universities in Jiangsu Province using the Physical Activity Rating Scale 
      (PARS-3), Adult Executive Function Scale (ADEXI), Positive and Negative Emotion 
      Scale (PANAS), and General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSES). RESULTS: The findings 
      indicated that the average age of the participants was 18.41 +/- 0.73 years, 
      encompassing 215 male students (43%), and 185 female students (57%). Engagement 
      in physical activity was significantly and positively correlated with executive 
      function (beta = 0.246, p < 0.01), inversely associated with negative emotion (beta 
      = -0.137, p < 0.01), and demonstrated a significant positive predictive impact on 
      self-efficacy (beta = 0.183, p < 0.01). Self-efficacy was observed to partially 
      mediate the relationship between executive function and physical activity. In 
      addition, negative mood was identified as playing a partial mediating and 
      modifying role in the relationship between executive function and physical 
      activity. CONCLUSION: Increasing college students' daily physical activity 
      participation not only benefits their executive function, self-efficacy, and 
      confidence levels but also exerts a limited positive impact on negative mood, 
      with the potential to regulate the intensity of negative emotion.
