Physical activity is defined as any bodily movement produced by skeletal muscles that requires energy expenditure. Promoting physical activity and healthy nutrition has the potential to significantly reduce the burden of disease and improve quality of life. However, in the studies conducted with the university students, it is seen that students have malnutrition habits and low level of activity. This study was planned to determine whether there is a relation between the physical activity level and the nutritional habits of the students of vocational school of health services. This study is in the cross-sectional descriptive type. The IPAQ total score average of the students was found to be 2399.34±1966.95 MET-min/week. It was determined that the IPAQ total score average of male students was higher than the IPAQ total score average of female students. It was determined that the total mean score of TFEQ was 41.66±7.59. The physical activity level of the students of vocational school health services is low. Proper nutritional habits are moderate.
