Abstract:

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between physical activity level and sports recovery knowledge. 540 students studying at Niğde Ömer Halisdemir University, Faculty of Sports Science, Training Education participated in the study voluntarily. A scanning model was used in the study, the Physical Activity Scale was used to determine the physical activity levels of the students, and the Sports Recovery Knowledge Test was used to determine the students’ sports recovery knowledge levels. The SPSS 26 package program was used to analyze the data. Because the data showed a normal distribution, the relationship between physical activity level and sports recovery was examined using the Pearson correlation test. It has been determined that the physical activity levels of the students of the coaching department are sufficient, and their sports recovery knowledge levels are in the middle score ranking. As a result, when examining the relationship between physical activity level and sports recovery knowledge, it was determined that there was a positive, significant, but weak relationship.
