The aim of the study is to examine the anxiety and stress management skills of athletes studying at Istanbul Gelişim University Faculty of Sports Sciences. A further objective of the study is to ascertain whether there are age-, gender-, individual athlete status-, sports year- and actively working-related differences in anxiety and stress management. In the study, the relational scanning and causal comparison models were employed. The Trait Anxiety Scale and the Perceived Stress Scale were employed as data collection instruments in the course of our research. The study population comprised athletes enrolled at Istanbul Gelişim University Faculty of Sports Sciences, with a sample size of 471 athletes selected from this population using the convenience sampling method. Following the definition of the research analyses in the SPSS 25.0 package program, the relevant analyses were conducted using this program. The results indicated that women exhibited higher anxiety and stress levels than men. Additionally, perceived stress levels demonstrated a notable decline with increasing age. Consequently, a moderate positive relationship was identified between trait anxiety and perceived stress management.
