The main wealth of a person is health. The fact that the future of any state depends on the health of its people is an immutable truth that does not require proof. It is very important to lead a healthy lifestyle and exercise, so that the physiological state of a person is at the necessary level, and to promote life expectancy. The concept of “mass sport” was first proposed in 1919 by Baron Pierre De Coubertin, the founder of the International Olympic Movement. In the past, rich and free travelers were involved in sports. For 30 years, Coubertin worked to introduce bourgeois sports to the world. This article uses the “Mass Sports Questionnaire” (MS-2008) developed by the Federation of Mass Sports, as well as the abbreviated Turkish version of the “Healthy Lifestyle” scale (WHOQOL-BREF-TR) developed by the World Health Organization (1999). The students of Gazi University (Ankara, the capital of the Republic of Turkey, the largest, main port city of Turkey), Istanbul University (Istanbul) and Gumushkhane University (the city of Gumushkhane with moderate-low economic development) have participated in the research work. Respondent Information form contains the data of the respondent participating in the research work, such as gender, age, family income, personal income, and daily leisure time.
