The data of the study were collected using the personal information form, the scale of engagement to sport, the orthorexia-11 scale. In the analysis of the data, the Independet Sample T-Test was used to compare the paired groups to determine the differences between the groups, One-Way Anova was used to compare the groups of three or more. In determining the effect size of the differences, Cohen d values for T-Test and eta2 values for ANOVA were calculated. Pearson Correlation test was used to determine the relationship between eating disorder tendency, sports engagement  levels. Participants' sports engagement scores; while it did not differ according to gender (p>0.05), it differed branch, level of sports, diet and year of sports (p<0.05). Orthorexic (eating disorder) tendencies of the participants; while it did not differ gender and level of doing sports (p>0.05), it differed branch, dieting status and year of doing sports (p<0.05). It was determined that the sport, history, diet and training frequency were effective on adherence levels, orthorexic tendency, high level of sport adherence increased orthorexic tendency.
