factor analyzes. To investigate the differences between the participants' transformational leadership behavior Kruskal
Wallis and Mann Whitney U nonparametric tests used. As a result, this study showed that students who chose
physical activities and who actively involved in leisure activities showed more transformational leadership than the
other students.
