The aim of this thesis is to examine students' anxiety about sports injuries with various variables. The descriptive survey model, one of the quantitative research methods, was adopted in the study. As a sample, 240 students were selected by using a random sample. Students studying at Akdeniz University and Faculty of Sport Sciences in the 2022-2023 academic year participated in the research. The data of the research were obtained with the "Sports Injuries Anxiety Scale" developed by Çağdaş Caz1, Recep Fatih Kayhan, Sait Bardakçı, (2019). A 5-point Likert scale was used in the scale. The scale consists of 19 items and 6 sub-dimensions. The sub-dimensions are Anxiety of Losing Athletic Talent, Anxiety of Poor Perception, Anxiety of Suffering, Anxiety of Disappointment, Anxiety of Re-injury, Anxiety of Losing Social Support. Statistical results were made with SPSS 23 package program. In line with the normal distribution given in the analysis of the data obtained, the t-test in pairwise comparisons, the ANOVA test in multiple comparisons and the relationship were examined. The results were analyzed at p<.05 significance level. When we examined the variables of gender, branch of sports, duration of licensed sports, the department studied and the number of training days per week, no significant difference was found in the scale totals in terms iv of anxiety levels. However, significant differences were observed in sub-dimensions of gender and licensed sports demographics. It was determined that female athletes' suffering anxiety was higher than male athletes, on the other hand, significant differences were observed in the anxiety level of losing social support and re-injury dimensions of those who did not do any licensed sports, compared to those who did not do licensed sports, according to the duration of doing licensed sports.
