Participants were asked to complete a demographic questionnaire, the Beck Depression Inventory, and the Physical Activity Scale. Behavioral performance during inhibitory control tasks, as well as synchronous ERP brain signals, was collected.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n Compared to healthy college students, the specific indicators of inhibitory control in college students with depressive symptoms included the Nogo accuracy and the N2 amplitude of Fz potentials under the Nogo condition for response inhibition, and the Stroop incongruent reaction time and the P3 amplitude of Fz potentials under the Stroop incongruent condition for interference inhibition (all\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.05). Physical exercise volume, intensity, duration, and frequency were significantly correlated with depressive symptom scores (all\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.05). Intensity, duration, and frequency were identified as key influencing factors. Moderate\u2010intensity sustained exercise and high\u2010intensity non\u2010sustained exercise, as well as high\u2010intensity sustained exercise, showed stronger effects. Longer durations (31\u201359\u2009min and >\u200960\u2009min) and higher frequencies (1\u20132 times\/week and 3\u20135 times\/week) also showed stronger effects. Physical exercise volume and intensity were significantly correlated with the N2 amplitude of Fz potentials under the Nogo condition for response inhibition (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.05), with no significant differences observed for different exercise intensities (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009>\u20090.05). Physical exercise volume, intensity, and duration were significantly correlated with Stroop incongruent reaction time and the P3 amplitude of Fz potentials under the Stroop incongruent condition (all\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u20090.05). Intensity and duration were key influencing factors. In terms of behavioral task performance, moderate\u2010intensity sustained exercise and high\u2010intensity non\u2010sustained exercise, as well as high\u2010intensity sustained exercise, exhibited stronger effects. Regarding cognitive neural processing, high\u2010intensity non\u2010sustained exercise had a more substantial effect, and durations of 31\u201359 and >\u200960\u2009min also had stronger effects.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n College students with depressive symptoms exhibit impaired inhibitory control, with decreased behavioral performance in response inhibition and interference inhibition tasks and reduced cognitive neural processing abilities. These can serve as key indicators for the early identification of depressive symptoms in college students. For depressive symptoms, it is recommended that exercise intensity be moderate or higher, with a duration of at least 30\u2009min and a frequency of 1\u20132 times\/week and 3\u20135 times\/week, with the optimal frequency being 3\u20135 times\/week. For interference inhibition, it is recommended that exercise intensity be moderate or higher, with the greatest benefits observed from high\u2010intensity non\u2010sustained exercise for cognitive neural processing and a duration of at least 30\u2009min. When designing exercise programs, it is important to consider the combination of different components of exercise and to tailor personalized, precise interventions based on individual differences in depressive symptoms and target areas.<\/jats:p>\n
