The research objective is to determine different variables on sport attitudes of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grade high school students throughout Turkey. Data were collected using face to face survey method with students studying in 21 provinces within seven different geographical regions of Turkey. 5862 randomized students are selected throughout Turkey for this research. Frequency analysis, reliability analysis, factor analysis, nonparametric Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis comparison tests were conducted to determine the sport attitudes of students. Reliability analysis is made regarding the questions on the sportive attitude scale and Cronbach's alpha coefficient is calculated as 0.923. With respect to research results of sport habits of students at high school in secondary education level throughout Turkey, it is determined that students who are studying in higher grades, have medium-income family and whose mother's educational status is relatively on a higher level, are more positive towards sport participation.
