This study analyzes the relationship between a healthy lifestyle behavior, quality of life, and leisure constraint levels of amputee individuals receiving sports education. The research participants include 106 volunteer amputee football athletes from the amputee football super league teams of the Turkish Sports Federation for the Physically Disabled. The study utilizes the "Personal Information Form" prepared by the researchers, “Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale (HLBS)” developed by Walker, Sechrist, and Pender (1987) and adapted to Turkish by Esin (1999) as the data collection tool. “World Health Organization Quality of Life Short Form (WHOQOL-BREF-TR)” was employed, which was developed by the World Health Organization and adapted into Turkish by Fidaner et al. (1999). Besides, “The Leisure Constraints Questionnaire-18 (LCQ)” developed by Alexandris and Carroll (1997) and adapted to Turkish by Gürbüz and Karaküçük (2007) was utilized. In analyzing the data, frequency, percentage, t-test, ANOVA, and Pearson Correlation tests were employed to analyze the data. Per the study findings, a significant difference was found between the sub-dimensions of HLBS (p<0,05) in the results of the ANOVA test by the age variable, but no significant difference was found between the sub-dimensions of WHOQOL and LCQ (p>0,05). No significant difference was found between the sub-dimensions of HLBS, WHOQOL, and LCQ in the t-Test results (p>0,05) by the amputation time variable. Besides, per the correlation analysis results, a statistically moderate and positive correlation was found between HLBS and WHOQOL and LCQ (p>0,05). Similarly, a moderate and positive correlation was found between WHOQOL and LCQ (p>0,05). In conclusion, as the quality of life increases mentally and socially due to the leisure time activities in which amputee individuals receiving sports education participate, we can observe that their healthy lifestyle behaviors are directly affected and positively affect their leisure constraint mentally and physically.
