Smoking habits and rest adequacy were measured using questionnaires, physical activity was evaluated using the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), and aerobic fitness was assessed using the Multistage Fitness Test (MFT). Results: There is a significant relationship between aerobic fitness with physical activity (r=0.39, p=0.01), gender (r=-0.76, p=0.00), and smoking habits (r=-0.35, p=0.03) in volleyball athletes.
