Background This study explores the intervention effects of campus sports peer model on migrant children’s psychological adaptation, healthy development and urban social integration, and analyzes the differences of its effects, so as to provide a basis for the construction of campus assistance system. Methods In this study, 420 migrant children in urban public primary and secondary schools were randomly selected and divided into experimental group ( n = 210) and control group ( n = 210). At the same time, hierarchical design was carried out according to grade (primary school/junior high school) and floating duration (≤2 years />2 years) to explore the intervention effect of campus sports peer model in different groups. The experimental group implemented peer intervention in campus sports for 12 weeks (including peer-to-peer sports training, team sports competition, etc.), while the control group adopted routine physical education. Through the psychological adaptation scale, physical fitness test and social integration questionnaire system, the intervention effect was compared and analyzed. Results Compared with the control group, the total score of psychological adaptation, self-esteem, BMI compliance rate, cardiopulmonary endurance, muscular endurance, regular exercise habit rate, urban belonging and peer acceptance were significantly higher in the experimental group, while the scores of anxiety, depression and perceived discrimination were significantly lower. The stratified study showed that the scores of self-esteem in psychological adaptation, muscular endurance in health promotion and peer acceptance in social integration of migrant children in primary school group were significantly higher than those in junior high school group ( p 2 years ( p < 0.05). Conclusion Campus sports peer model can effectively improve migrant children’s psychological state, improve their health literacy, solve the identity dilemma and build social bridges, and the intervention effect is more prominent for the young and short-term migrant children. It is an effective intervention model to promote migrant children’s psychological adaptation, healthy development and urban social integration, and can provide reference for migrant children’s educational assistance and social support system construction
