Significant difference was found between DEPRESSION in ATHLETES AND NON-ATHLETES student (P<0.05) but there was no significant difference between ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT of these groups (P>0.05). Significant inverse correlation was found also between DEPRESSION and ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT of STUDENTS (P<0.05).Conclusion: Given the relatively high prevalence of DEPRESSION among STUDENTS and the undeniable positive effects of exercise, it is necessary to consider exercise as a strategy for preventing mental illness, decrease the healthcare costs and improve STUDENTS' ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT.
