Abstract :The aim of the study is to examine the perception of Olympic values among university students in terms of various variables. In line with this objective, 470 individuals participating in sports activities and 192 individuals not involved in sports activities volunteered for the study, making a total of 622 participants. The Olympic values scale, consisting of 12 items and three sub-dimensions, was used in the research, and the results were evaluated at the 0.050 significance level. As a result, significant differences were observed in the sub-score averages of the Olympic values scale among those engaging in sports activities, different types of sports activities, and genders. Additionally, significant positive relationships were found in the variable of sports activity duration. No significant differences or relationships were observed between the purpose of sports activity, family structure, age, and the sub-dimensions of the Olympic values scale. Consistent with the results, engaging in various sports activities stands out among the recommendations of the study as a means of cultural transmission in the transfer of Olympic values.
