Highlights

According to the Kruskal-Wallis h test, which was conducted to determine the differentiation between these variables and organic food awareness level perception, disadvantage perception of organic food and attitude towards organic food, it was determined that there were no significant differences at the level of P
Summary
Sports an integral part of life and one of the important factors in the happiness of individuals (Yalcinkaya, 1993) and it is defined as a science that enables the communication between the elements contributing to physical and cognitive development. In addition to the fact that athletes face various problems, this leads to a negative impact on their mental and physical development All this suggests that the choice of nutrition method with athlete health will be directly proportional (Baysal, 2012; Karaagaoglu, 2015). Energy requirements of athletes may increase 2-3 times compared to sedentary individuals depending on elements such as sports branch, training time Variables such as sports, intensity and duration of exercise cause nutrition methods to differ. It has been determined that excessive and rapid weight loss negatively affects the health and performance of athletes In this direction, the training, competition, and nutrition programs of boxers who want to succeed should be carefully established and athletes should comply with the program (Zengin, 2003). It is believed that boxers who are aware of the athlete's health, healthy life, and the environment will prefer organic foods in nutrition. It is believed that the study will contribute to the literature as a new source since similar studies have not been found before and the entire universe has participated in the evaluation
