Bu çalışma betimsel araştırma türü olup, ilişkisel tarama yöntemi ile yapıldı. Örneklem grubunu Afyonkarahisar ilinde haftada en az 3 gün düzenli fiziksel aktivite yapan 294 birey oluşturdu. Araştırma verileri; kişisel bilgiler, Beck Depresyon Envanteri (BDE) ve Yeme Davranışları Testinden (EAT-26) oluşan anket formu ile elde edildi. Veriler SPSS paket programında değerlendirildi. Verilerin analizinde öncelikle tanımlayıcı istatistikler yapıldı. Verilerin Dağılımı Kolmogorov-Smirnov testi ile değerlendirildi. Test sonucunda verilerin normal dağılım göstermediği saptanmış olup, verilerin analizinde parametrik olmayan testlerden, Mann Whitney U-Testi ve Spearman korelasyon katsayısı kullanıldı.Araştırma sonucunda düzenli Fiziksel Aktivite (FA) yapan bireylerin %72,45’inde “normal yeme davranışı, %27,55’inde ise “anormal yeme davranışı” olduğu saptanmıştır. Bireylerin % 79,93’ünde depresyon olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Cinsiyet’e göre bireylerin yeme davranışlarında farklılık olduğu (p&lt;0,01), ancak depresyon durumlarında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca spor geçmişlerine göre bireylerin yeme davranışlarında bir farklılık olmadığı, depresyon düzeylerinde ise istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılık olduğu belirlenmiştir (p&lt;0,05).Sonuç olarak; düzenli FA yapan bireylerin depresyon düzeyleri ile yeme davranışları arasında pozitif bir ilişki olduğu belirlendi.
