This study aimed to investigate changes in high school students’ physical activity levels during the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. In this process, in which students had to stay away from school and social life, a large part of their daily work was interrupted (Korkmaz et al.,2020). Students could not do physical activity as usual ant they spent more time in the digital environment such as television, computers, etc. and experienced deterioration in cardiovascular system besides problems such as irregular sleep (Troiano, 2002). It was observed that individuals, especially the young, had difficulty in complying with or did not comply with the mask, distance and hygiene rules. Covid-19 Awareness Scale was used to collect data. With data from 204 students, construct and content validity of the scale was tested with SPSS and Amos programs. It was found that the Covid-19 awareness levels were higher in female students than male students, in students who were not engaged in sports than students who were, in students who were engaged in individual sports than students who were engaged in team sports. Therefore, it is very important for male students who are engaged in team sports to pay more attention to mask distance and hygiene rules.
