In order to evaluate athletes' attitudes towards nutrition, the ''Attitude Scale Towards Healthy Nutrition'' consisting of 21 questions was applied.

While there was no statistical significance in athletes' attitudes towards nutrition according to gender, nationality and VKI variable P> 0.05; according to age, years of doing sports and education variable was found statistically significant P <0.05.
