Abstract

Physical exercise is a voluntary, planned, structured, continuous activity aimed at developing and improving body and physical fitness. While nutrition constitutes one dimension of healthy lifestyle behaviors, exercise and physical activity constitute the other dimension. We aimed to examine the relationship between healthy nutrition levels and exercise addiction levels of students studying at the faculty of health sciences.

The mean values of age and body mass index of the subjects were 21.83±4.21 and 18.13±3.09, respectively. There were statistically significant and weak correlations between participants' healthy eating habits and exercise dependence level (r=0.386 - p
