The validity of the research tools and their reliability (by Cronbach's alpha test) were evaluated. Research data were collected in library and field sections. To analyze the research data, descriptive and inferential statistics was used.


Finding
The results showed that high-risk behaviors are less in the leisure time of active students. In addition, with increasing physical activity in leisure time, high-risk behaviors decrease. On the other hand, the more psychotic students are, the more high-risk behaviors are likely to happen. In addition, the separate relationships between leisure-time physical activity and personality with high-risk behaviors were significant.

Discussion
 However, the results showed that when the personality variable was included in the relationship between leisure physical activity and high-risk behaviors, the relationship between the two variables became insignificant. Therefore, in order to reduce high-risk behaviors among students, it is better for university officials to increase the possibility of students participating in leisure-time physical activities by holding extracurricular sports classes and easy access to sports facilities.
