Abstract：Objective To explore the effect of Yoga exercise on premenstrual syndrome (PMS) in female college students, so as to provide evidence for improving the awareness of preventive health care and physical and mental health of college students. Methods A total of 180 female students with PMS were selected from the health center of Nanchang Normal University from May 2021 to May 2022. A self-control study was carried out in which Yoga exercise was performed for 60 minutes three times a week for 3 months. A questionnaire survey was conducted before and after the Yoga exercise, and the data were statistically analyzed. Results The proportion of moderate and severe PMS decreased from 63.89% and 26.67% before Yoga to 34.44% and 11.67% after Yoga (χ2=77.986, P<0.001), the proportion of more than 8 hours of sleep time increased to 33.33% after Yoga, and sleep quality was significantly improved (χ2=24.842, P<0.001). Conclusion Yoga exercise can effectively improve the incidence of PMS in female college students, and it is worth popularizing in colleges and universities.
