The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the exercise dependency level and locally certified food products with geographical indication in the city of gastronomy. A quantitative research model and a correlational survey method were used in the study. The sample group consisted of 110 students (age 21.17±1.69; 56.82±7.38 kg) and 168 (age 22.29±1.88; 73.39±9.18 kg) male students enrolled at the Faculty of Sports Sciences. The Demographic Information Form, Gastronomy Product Scale (15 foods), and Exercise Dependence Scale were used in the data collection process. Frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and chi-square tests were applied in the data analysis. The results showed that 50% of women were asymptomatic and 7.3% were exercise dependent, while 45.2% of men were symptomatic and 16.1% were dependent (p<0.04). On the gastronomy food scale, no difference was found between genders for bending, ply, sausage, wish, poppy, Afyon kebab, stuffed ilibada, eggplant pastry, eggplant kebab, beard soup and poppy seed foods, but Turkish delight consumption was found to be significantly higher among men than women (p<0.01). In terms of exercise addiction, the asymptomatic group showed a significant difference only in the consumption of Turkish delight and sousage kebab (p<0.02), while the consumption of pastrami and Turkish bread pudding was significantly high (p=0.05), although not statistically significant. In conclusion, foods in the gastronomic city are thought to influence exercise addiction.
