This study aims to explore the specific impact of college students’ physical exercise attitude on their exercise behavior. Using SPSS 25.0 statistical software, to analyze the relationship between the physical exercise attitudes and behaviors of 572 college students. The results show that there is a significant positive correlation between physical exercise attitudes and behaviors, and the various dimensions of college students’ physical exercise attitudes have a predictive effect on exercise behavior. Universities should take corresponding measures to increase publicity on physical exercise among college students, improve their physical exercise attitudes, strengthen their physical literacy, and promote the all-round development of college students.
