The purpose of the study is to investigate the relationship between academic success and physical/kinesthetic intelligence zone of physical education and sports student. The sample of the study consists of totally 163 students (Xage= 22.90 ± 1.68) (Xmarkaverage= 2.61 ± 0.48). The students were chosen from third and fourth grades (60 women and 103 men) of Sakarya University Physical Education and Sports teaching department, training department, sport management and recreation department. While 80 (%49.1) students were chosen from third grades, 83 (%50.9) were chosen from fourth grades. Personal information form prepared by the researchers for the purposes of the study. Self-Assessment Scale in Multıple-Intellıgence Fıelds, which was formed by Gardner (1983), was used in the study. Turkish adaptation of the scale was done by Seber (2001). In the scale physical/kinesthetic intelligence zone was used. After applying descriptive statistical procedures (mean and standard deviation) to the obtained data, a correlation analysis to determine the relationship between physical/kinesthetic intelligence and academic success and Independent Samples T-test to determine the differences between variables was done. Significance level was determined as 0.05. When examining the correlation analysis a significant correlation was found between academic success and positive physical/kinesthetic intelligence (p<0.05). No significances differences were found among participants in physical/kinesthetic intelligence in terms of gender and grade (p>0.05)
