Poor mental health is known to be of high negative impact on the individual intellectual and physical resource, and this is the reason why analyses of the students’ mental health need to be given a due priority. Subject to the study were 94 female students aged 20.3 years on average engaged in the academic physical education and sports under the traditional academic education curricula. The subjects’ mental health was analysed using a holistic approach and interpreted as composed of eight orthogonal components generated by factor analysis, with the overall dispersion of the sample estimated at 52.96% with relatively modest input of every factor varying from 12.4% to 4.5%. Most important of the subjects mental health components are the following: feel; emotional status; mental working capacity; self-confidence; mental domain condition, process and functionality; social adaptability; and degree of harmony of individual mental qualities.

Keywords: female students, mental health, factor analysis.:
