“…There are also findings in the literature where no significant differences were found between body awareness and strength. According to Kalkışım et al (2021), there was no correlation between strength and body awareness levels in their study on the correlation between hand grip strength, lower extremity muscle strength, and body awareness levels. Emirzeoğlu et al (2019) reported no difference in body awareness levels despite differences in muscle strength between the two groups in their study on sedentary individuals and athletes.…”

“…The next stage involves the development of elements that impact movement quality, such as speed, distance, coordination, and strength (Özel, 2018). During this process, the interaction between sensory systems, muscle strength, and body structure can directly impact one's consciousness of using their body (Kalkışım et al, 2021). One of the most essential parts of body awareness is using and adopting one's body at the highest level.…”

People can use and accept their bodies at the highest level through body awareness. Someone who is aware of their body and understands its details can see the effects of physical activity on the body. In line with this information, this research aimed to investigate the relationship between body awareness, physical activity and strength levels of young athletes. Seventy-six male athletes with an average age of 17.30±.462, an average body weight of 62.19±6.98 kg, an average height of 1.73±.069 cm, and an average BMI of 20.54±1.49 kg.m-2 participated in the research. As a data collection tool in the research, “Personal Information Form,” “Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ),” “International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form (IPAQ-SF),” “Sitting Medicine Ball Throwing Test,” “Hand Grip Strength Test (HGST)” and “Back and Leg Strength Test” was used. The research data were analyzed with the Pearson Correlation Test and One Way ANOVA Test, which are descriptive statistics. As a result, it was determined that as the total physical activity of the individuals increased, their body awareness levels also increased. At the same time, a significant positive correlation (p
