Human sexuality is a highly complicated and specific phenomenon made of different components. Human sexuality is a component of physical and mental health and affects our thinking, behavior, interactions and our entire life. It has been observed in groups which offer training and service in Physical Training and Sports, numerous studies were made on physical, psychological and social aspects of individuals yet a very limited number of studies were made on assessment of sexual knowledge, attitudes and behaviors. In this descriptive study realized to evaluate sexual knowledge, behaviors and attitudes of students at the school of physical training and sports, data was collected by the student information form and the Sexual Attitudes Questionnaire (SAQ) and evaluated using percentage distribution, correlation and t test in SPSS 16.0 software. A large part of the student group which was mainly made of male students (75%) and those who have lived for a longer period of time at central areas in their life (73%), pointed at unofficial channels such as friends (62%) and the internet (46%) as their source of information on sexuality. The most widely known sexually transmitted disease (STD) is AIDS (72%). Other STDs have a very low level of acquaintance. While female students exhibited a more conservative attitude compared to males in all areas of SAS, they exhibited a similar attitude to male students in the subscale of attitude towards their own sexuality. The study determined that students needed accountable information sources on sexuality and their level of sexual attitude could be considered conservative.
