This study aims to investigate the correlations between the physical activity levels of students who study sports sciences and their life satisfaction levels according to a number of variables. The study group was composed of 212 students--100 of whom were female and 112 of whom were male--who attended Physical Education and Sports School of Adiyaman University in 2020-2021 academic year. The participants were given the international physical activity questionnaire (Craig et al., 2003) and satisfaction with life scale (SWLS) (Diener & Griffin, 1985) along with personal information form (IPAQ-SF) online. As a result, no correlations were found between physical education and sports school students' levels of physical activities and their life satisfaction. Accordingly, the BMI average for the female students ([X-bar] = 20.31) was found to be significantly lower than the average for the male students ([X-bar] = 23.68). The inactive students' average ([X-bar] = 21.61) and the average of the students who were very active ([X-bar] = 21.37) were significantly higher (p < 0.01). On the other hand, no significant differences were found in the participants' levels of physical activity or in their life satisfaction levels according to types of sports and gender (p > 0.05).
