A total of 733 voluntary secondary school students participated in the study.

According to the physical fitness levels of the students, it was seen that girls were more flexible than boys, boys had better right and left-hand strength and cardiorespiratory endurance data than girls, and students with more weekly physical education class hours and licensed students had higher physical fitness levels. According to the physical activity levels, it was determined that girls had good total activity scores, boys had high vigorous activity and sitting activity scores, licensed students were more active, and those with more weekly physical education class hours had higher physical activity levels. According to the results of digital addiction, it was determined that there was no difference between girls and boys or between licensed and unlicensed students.
