Özet
The present research aimed to compare the fitness parameters, nutritional patterns and exercise
habits of students among School of Physical Education and Sports with regard to gender and three different
departments. A total of 333 students (Trainer Education n=100, Physical Education and Sport Teaching n=90, and
Sports Management n=150) participated in this research. Cardiovascular (CV) parameters, anthropometric and
body composition measurements were taken. Analysis did not reveal significant department and gender interaction
effects in terms of all parameters (p>0.05). Most of features were significantly different (p>0.05) between the
genders, as expected. Exercises habits parameters were statistically (p<0.05) lower and CV parameters were slightly
higher for the students in Sports Management program than that of other departments. As a conclusion, although
there were some differences between the departments and gender,fitness properties, nutritional patterns and
exercise habits values of male and female participants were generally within a healthy profile.
