The degree of exercise dependence of these students became the object of curiosity due to the students of Physical Education and Sports College who do the most physical activities in universities. For this reason, the aim of the study was to compare physical activity levels (FAD) and body mass index (BMI) according to exercise dependence status of Hıgh School Of Physıcal Educatıon And Sports students. Material and Method: The study consists of Erzincan University School of Physical Education and Sport and the sample consists of a total of 305 students of which 204 are male and 101 are female.

Results: In the study, It was detected that % 13,2 of male students, % 15.8 of female students and % 14.1 of students in general were exercise dependence, while there was no significant difference between BMI according to the exercise dependence status of male students, the PAL of exercise dependant and nominees of dependence was statistically significantly higher in comparison with non-dependent, according to the exercise dependence status of female students there was no significant difference between neither MBI nor PAL , the BMI of male students is significantly higher, the PAL values of nominees of exercise dependence is significantly higher, there was no significant differences between BMI and PAL values of the students according to the family economic level, there was no significant relationship neither male nor female students between BMI and PAL according to the level of exercise dependence. Conclusion: It was extrapolated that, few of the students who are studying at the Physical Education and Sports College are exercise dependant; the students who are high in exercise dependence are also high in PAL values, the family economic level on the students' exercise dependence level is not an effective factor, the sports hall which is near the students' houses affects the levels of physical activity of students, and also there was no significant relationship between Body Mass Indexes and Physical Activity Levels according to the exercise dependence status of the students.
