Özet: The aim of this study was to evaluate the physical activity levels of middle adolescence students according to their gender, video game playing status and academic achievement level. A total of 471 high school students participated voluntarily. The mean age of the female participants (n = 270) was 16.01 ± 1.08 and the mean BMI was 21.11 ± 3.62. The mean age of male participants (n = 201) was 16.18 ± 1.18 and BMI was 21.11 ± 3.62. International physical activity questionnaire short form (IPAQ) was applied to determine physical activity levels. In order to evaluate their academic achievements, the weighted grade point averages they obtained up to that period were used. In addition to descriptive statistics, Mann-Whitney U test was used when two variables were compared, and Pearson correlation test was used in relational analysis. While no significant difference was found in the comparison of physical activity levels based on playing video games (p> 0.05), it was observed that physical activity levels of women were higher than men in the comparison made by gender (p <0.05). There was no relationship between academic achievement and physical activity levels (p> 0.05). As a result, according to the information obtained from this study, it was determined that the physical activity levels of the participants were minimum active and that women had higher physical activity (MET) than men. It has been found that both women and men have insufficient physical activity. In addition, it was tought that academic achievement and playing video games have no effect on physical activation
