The objective of this study is the comparison of the irisin, leptin, and insulin hormone levels of the female and male elite athletes and non-athletes. Elite taekwondo athletes (7 males, 6 females) and university students (8 males, 6 females) between the ages of 16 and 20 years volunteered to participate in this study. In the beginning of the study, the body compositions of the participants were determined and their plasma irisin, leptin, and insulin hormone analyses were determined by the Enzyme-Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA) method. After an overnight fast, the blood samples were collected at 8:00 a.m. A two-way ANOVA was performed to examine the effects of gender and training status. There was found no significant main and/or interaction effect of training and gender on the irisin and insulin hormone levels (p>0,05). However, training and gender affected the leptin levels significantly (p
