This study focuses on the correlation between physical activity and college students' life satisfaction.

For data analysis, demographic analysis of variance, correlation analysis, and chain mediating effect test were conducted sequentially.

Results: There were significant differences in psychological resilience, negative emotions, and life satisfaction by gender, and psychological resilience by grade level; there were significant correlations between physical activity and psychological resilience, negative emotions, and life satisfaction among college students ( = 0.541,  < 0.001;  = -0.379,  < 0.001;  = 0.435,  < 0.001); and psychological resilience, negative emotions had significant mediating and chain mediating effects between physical activity and life satisfaction, where the mediating effect of psychological resilience was significantly stronger than the mediating effect of negative emotions and the chain mediating effect of both.
