Abstract To explore the impact of physical exercise on student burnout, 800 non-physical education major students in a university in Suzhou are selected as research objects to carry out an empirical study on influences of physical exercise on student burnout, and SPSS27.0 software is used to process data obtained by empirical research. The results indicate that physical exercise, student burnout, and psychological resilience differ based on demographic variables; There are significant correlations between physical exercise, student burnout and psychological resilience, which shows that physical exercise, psychological resilience and student burnout have significantly negative correlation, and physical exercise and psychological resilience have significantly positive correlation; Psychological resilience plays a mediating role in the influence of physical exercise on student burnout. Based on this, in order to alleviate students’ fatigue and leverage the influence of physical exercise and mediating role of psychological resilience, suggestions and countermeasures to improve the effect of physical exercise and enhance psychological resilience are put forward.
