This study was conducted to compare and evaluate the knowledge levels and opinions of individual and team athletes about recovery methods after exercise. A total of 227 participants, 115 individual athletes and 112 team athletes were included in the study. Sports Recovery Knowledge Test (SRKT) scale developed by Aydemir et al. (2020) determined the participants' demographic characteristics, habits, level of knowledge and views on recovery methods. In the analysis of the data, in addition to descriptive statistics, t-tests and ANOVA tests, which are parametric tests, were used to determine the difference between the groups in normally distributed data. In terms of the type of sports branch, it was determined that 6 (5.2%) of the individual athletes had a weak level of SRKT, 84 (73.1%) were at a moderate level and 25 (21.7%) were at a good level. It was determined that 5 (4.5%) of these values were weak, 86 (76.7%) moderate and 21 (18.8%) good in team athletes. It was determined that the SRKT score was 53.22 points in individual athletes and 54.04 points in team athletes, and there was no statistically significant difference between them (p>0.05). As a result, it can be said that there is no significant difference between the Sports Recovery Knowledge Test levels of individual and team athletes in this study.enAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 United Statesinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessIndividual AthletesTeam AthletesRecovery Knowledge LevelArticle413447
