Using SPSS21.0, mathematical-statistical analysis was done on the recovered accurate scales. After 12 weeks of psychological intervention, the psychological training group had significant differences in the dimensions of life (P = 0.030), development (P = 0.013) and social (P = 0.016) (P < 0.05), family (P = 0.000), life events (P = 0.001) and total score (P = 0.002) (P < 0.01). The exercise intensity was controlled within the range of medium and small intensity and did not receive psychological training, but some dimensions had positive changes. Psychological training can significantly reduce the psychological pressure of the development dimension.
