Obesity Awareness Scale was developed by Allen (2011) and adapted to Turkish by Kafkas and Özen (2014) and personal information form including age, gender and department variable were applied to the participants. The data obtained in the study were analyzed with SPSS 20.0 statistical package program and the level of significance was taken as (p <0.05). The overall internal consistency of the scale was found to be 0.87. In the study, t-test was used for pairwise comparisons of parametric tests. In our study, no significant difference was found between gender variable and obesity awareness (p>.05). There was no significant difference between obesity awareness and department variable (p>.05). When the obesity awareness scores were examined, the average score of the students of the coaching department was average 62.23 meanwhile the teaching department students average score 62,91.
