There was a statistically significant difference in terms of attitude levels towards sports and age, participation in sports, title and working year variables for Academicians at Firat University. According to the gender variable, it was not found that the attitudes of academicians towards sports were not statistically significant. Academicians’ attitudes towards sports are very important. Students often see their instructors as their cult figure. Academicians' attitudes towards sports are thought to make them feel good about themselves in terms of health and will be a positive example for students who consider themselves cult figures.
