When the data were evaluated on the basis of the demographic features, it was found that their attitudes towards sport vary significantly depending on the variables of the state of having done sport in the past and the state of doing sport regularly (p0.05).

As a result, it can be argued that having done sport in the past and doing sport regularly at present positively affect the attitudes towards sport.
