Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine the health-exercise/physical activity habits and consciousness level of School of Physical Education and Sports students and to compare the results with the results of those students at other faculties and departments. For this purpose, an 82- item questionnaire (31 of these items were related with personal information, 51 of them were related with exercise consciousness levels) developed by researchers was given to the students (n=91). The obtained data was analyzed by using the statistical package in order to get descriptive statistics and also comparisons were made in terms of department, gender and age. It was seen that students’ exercise/physical activity habits and consciousness levels were not significantly different in terms of gender [t (89) =0.12, p>0.5] and age [t (89) =0.38, p>0.05] variables. Exercise/physical activity habits and consciousness levels of school of physical education and sports students were higher than the students of other departments [t (89) =3.55, p<0.05].
