The main focus of the present study is individuals who exercise regularly in Tekirdağ. The study sample consisted of 202 individuals, 112 (%55,4) women and 90 (%44,6) men.

The personal information forms, “Self-Confidence Scale” and “Physical Self-Description Questionnaire (PSDQ)”, prepared by the researcher were applied to the participants, respectively. SPSS 21 software package was used for data analysis. The data was not normally distributed, so paired comparisons were analyzed by Mann-Whitney U, multiple comparisons were analyzed by Kruskal-Wallis tests and descriptive statistics were made. In the study, the Cronbach-Alpha internal consistency coefficient of the Self-Confidence scale was 0.952 and the Marsh Physical Self-Description Scale was found 0.954. According to the results of the research, a significant difference was found between physical self-description and gender, educational level, type of exercise, and reason to exercise (p<0.05). While there was a significant difference between self-confidence and gender and type of exercise (p<0,05), there was no difference between the variables of educational level and reason to exercise (p>0.05). In the correlation analysis between physical self-description and self-confidence, a positive correlation was found in all sub-dimensions.
