Objective: The aim of this study is to examine the depression and anxiety levels of the athletes in the Covid-19 pandemic in terms of some variables. Methods: The working group of the study was composed of 256 (female=127, male=129) athletes who participated in the study on the principle of volunteerism in accordance with the easily accessible sample method. In order to be included in the study group, athletes were required to be active competitive athletes just before the pandemic was declared. Descriptive data used in this study conducted with the scanning model Tuglu et al., Turkish adaptation by (2005) “Beck Depression Scale for Primary Care” and Turkish adaptation by Öner and Le Compte (1983) “status and continuous Anxiety Scale” was collected through. Results:According to the results obtained, athletes' status and constant anxiety and depression scores differ statistically according to gender, relationship status, economic income assessment, economic income loss due to pandemic and Covid-19 positive (p<0.05). In addition, statistically significant relationships were found between depression and anxiety levels in a positive direction (p<0.05). Conclusion: It has been determined that the increase in the depression and anxiety levels of the athletes due to the Covid-19 pandemic and isolation measures can be determined by the gender, relationship status, covid status, economic evaluation, change of residence and loss of income due to the pandemic. In addition, it has been determined that any increase in depression or anxiety levels may cause an increase in the other variable.
