To find their levels of meaning according to various variables by determining the attitudes of high school students studying in the province of Karabük with regard to physical education and sports courses. In the 2016-2017 educational and teaching year, there are a total of 350 students, including 262 boys and 88 girls, who have studied in the 3 high schools located in the central district of Karabük. To determine the attitudes of students, the attitude scale of 12 positive, 12 negative, developed by Demirhan and Altay was used to determine the attitudes of students. The findings: The findings found that the attitudes of students in the age group 14-16 to the body training course were higher in a statistically significant level than the participants in the age group 17-19. The attitude levels of students towards body training courses do not statistically vary according to gender. The study found that the attitudes of the students to the body training course did not show significant differences in statistical terms according to the class variable that was studied. The study concluded that the attitudes of high school students towards the course of physical education did not show significant differences in statistical terms according to the class level and gender variable, and that the attitudes of students towards the course of physical education did not show significant differences according to the age variable. This situation may have the impact that students live in a similar social environment. It can also be said that students’ attitudes towards body training and sports classes are at a similar level. In the framework of these findings, it is recommended that the content of body training and sports courses be reformed according to student attitudes.
