The aim of the study is to determine the psychological resilience levels of high school students in the COVID-19 pandemic, to examine in terms of gender, exercise status and weekly exercise frequency. The sample of the research consists of 223 (x-age=16.09±0.81) high school students, 116 women (X-age=16.00±0.99) and 107 men (x-age=16.18±1.06). The data were collected with the Psychological Resilience Scale. In the analysis of the data, t test, one way ANOVA test and pearson correlation analysis were used. The results of the study reveal that the psychological resilience scale score of female participants is significantly higher than male participants (p <.01). It was found that there was a significant difference in psychological resilience scale score in terms of participants' exercise status in favor of exercising participants (p <.01). According to the exercise preferences, there was no difference between the participants' psychological resilience scale score (p> .01). In addition, a positive correlation was found between the participants' weekly exercise frequency and psychological resilience scale scores (p <.01). As a result, it was revealed that the participants who exercise in the COVID-19 pandemic have higher levels of psychological resilience than those who do not exercise. In such cases, studies are needed to raise public awareness about the benefits of exercising.
