The data collection tool in the research consists of two parts; the first part includes the Personal Information Form consisting of 7 questions, while the second part uses the Sports Startups Interest Scale developed by the researcher, consisting of 21 questions and 6 sub-dimensions. While the population of the research consists of students receiving sports education in Turkey, the sample consists of 1409 students. The data obtained in the research were transferred to the licensed SPSS 21.0 programme. Before the analyses were performed, normality analysis was performed and it was determined that the data obtained showed normal distribution. Then, percentage, frequency and standard deviation values were determined in terms of the variables determined in the research. Due to the normal distribution of the data obtained, independent simple t-test and one-way variance (ANOVA) tests were preferred in the research. Pearson correlation test was applied to determine the relationships between the sub-dimensions of the sports startups interest scale and the total average of the scale. As a result of the answers given by university students studying sports to the sports startups interest scale, it is concluded that there is no significant difference between the variables of gender, age, department, monthly household income, while it is concluded that there is a significant difference in the variables of university, class and startup usage.}, number={3}, publisher={Uluslararası Bilim Kültür ve Spor Derneği (UBİKS)}
