Socio-demographic information form, General Health Questionnaire and Mental Well-Being Scale were used to collect data. The data were collected in the classroom environment after the course in which the athletes were collectively trained. Numerical percentages, t test and correlation analysis were used in the evaluation of the data. Findings: When the socio-demographic characteristics of the athletes were examined, the average age was 36.24 ± 3.12, 50.7% were female, 63.3% were married, 47.3% were university graduates and 54.3% and sports for years. Participants’ mean scores from the general health questionnaire were 2.47 ± 0.91 and mean scores from the mental wellbeing scale were 51.31 ± 8.42. When the relationship between participants’ general health questionnaire and mental well-being score averages were examined, it was found that there was a strong correlation in the positive direction (r=- 0.742, p=0.08). Conclusion: In line with the results of this research; men, secondary school graduates, and those who are engaged in sports for 1-4 years have taken place in the risk group in terms of general health and mental well-being. Individuals’ overall health point averages were also found to increase mental well-being.
