Significant difference was found when the GPAs ofthe second, third and forth classes were compared (p<0.05). Physically inactive students formed 24.4% of the first classstudents, 17.3% of second year students, 20.6% of third year students, and 21.9% of fourth year students. No significantrelationship was found between level of physical activity and success level as the results of analysis (p>0.05).Conclusion: It is considered that university lectures, which are more difficult than the previous education life, could lead tochange in the physical activity level of the students.
