The first aid knowledge level insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(56,40±21,12); of those who received applied first aid and CPR training was higher than those who received only theoretical insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(53,13±21,65); training insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0,05);. The students of the Coaching Education Department gave the highest number of correct answers to the First Aid and CPR questions. Almost all university students insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(88,4%); stated they wanted to receive first aid and CPR training. Our findings revealed that 90,4% of the Department of Physical Education and Sports Teaching students wanted to receive training, which shows that the students in the teaching programs are more sensitive about first aid and CPR. It was found that the first aid and CPR knowledge level of the university students studying sports sciences were low and, they were aware of this situation.
