The purpose of this research is to study the content of the master, doctoral and medical specialty theses on the subject of "physical activity" prepared by graduate students studying in various institutions between 2002-2019 years according to various variables. The data in the study was obtained as a result of the scan in the National Thesis Center Archive of the Higher Education Institution. In the study, 416 thesis studies, with access permits from 453 theses obtained from the scan results between the relevant years, were subject to examination.

The study of the distribution of prepared graduate theses according to the years found that the maximum thesis was published in 2019 with 118 theses, and that the minimum thesis was published in 2006 (1), 2003 (4), 2004 (4) and 2005 (4). As a result, with today's technological advances, physical activity has been reduced and today, with the lack of physical activity, a major public health problem has arisen. The increasing importance of physical activity for human health has been concluded that the preparation of scientific works in our country and the increase in research on this subject.
