According to the findings, Self-esteem of the athletes’ rate is low (X=3,38) and Vigilance decision-making rate from the subdimentions of the decision making was low (X =2,59). But the Buck-Passing decision-making rate was high (X =6,78), the procrastination decision-making rate was mid-level (X =5,36) and the Hyper-Vigilance decision-making rate was mid-level, too (X =4,95). A statistically meaningful relationship was found according to the branch, class level at university and difficulty in the leisure time while there is not a statistically meaningful relationship according to athletes’ gender, age, duration of the doing sports and leisure time is enough? |

There were 39 handball players who actively played Handball in 2nd, 1st, Super League and National teams. The nutrition information scale, developed by Zinn, Schofield and Wall, is composed of 23 questions for the determination of eating habits. The athletes were interviewed by telephone and face-to-face interviews. SPSS 22 program was used in statistical calculations. The frequency and percentage values of the obtained data were calculated and the T test and the Mann-Whitney U test were applied to investigate the differences between the genders, the knowledge of nutrients, the knowledge of liquid substances, the level of recovery information, the weight control knowledge level and the general nutritional knowledge level. When the P value was less than 0.05, the difference between the groups was considered significant. In order to examine the effect of income on knowledge level of nutrients, level of knowledge of liquids, level of knowledge of restitution, level of knowledge of weight control and level of general nutrition knowledge, the one-way ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis Tests were applied and the P value was lower than 0,05, it is considered to be a significant difference. As a result, in the light of nutritional information supported by scientific studies, it is thought that it will be very beneficial for the athletes to be supported by nutrition education. |

Paired Sample T-test was used to compare the pre- and post test results of the subjects (P <0.05). It was found that obese subjects who applied aerobic exercise program had a significant difference in body weight, body fat percentage and body mass index values (p <0.05).
