Body mass index values of the referees participating in this study were calculated with the formula of taking height and weight measurements. To determine the level of physical activity levels, International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) which was developed by Craig et al (2003) and adapted in Turkish by Ozturk (2005) by doing reliability and validity study was practiced. The data obtained in this study was recorded in SPSS program. In order to analyze the data, frequency and percent, Chi-Square (X2 ) and non-parametric Mann-Whitney U tests was applied.
