Abstract. Objective: To compare the levels of physical activity in university athletes before and during the confinement due to pandemic associated with COVID-19. Method: thirty-two university student athletes enrolled in the Sports Faculty of the Autonomous University of Baja California. The average age of the participating subjects was 21.4 ± 3.6 years (17 men and 15 women). To assess the physical activity level, the international physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ) was used; measurements were carried out before and during confinement by COVID-19. Results: To determine equality of variance, the Student's t-test for independent samples was applied, with less physical activity (-33.6 Δ%), MET-minutes/week during confinement by COVID-19 (p=.005). Conclusions: Despite decreasing physical activity, the university athlete performed physical activity at home during confinement by COVID-19, harmonizing the time in the learning processes in their future profession.
Resumen. Objetivo: Comparar los niveles de actividad física en deportistas universitarios antes y durante del confinamiento por pandemia asociada al COVID-19. Método: treinta y dos estudiantes deportistas universitarios matriculados en la Facultad de Deportes de la Universidad Autónoma de Baja California.

Para evaluar los niveles de actividad física, se utilizó el cuestionario internacional de actividad física (IPAQ), las mediciones se llevaron a cabo previo y en el confinamiento por pandemia asociada al COVID-19. Resultados: Para determinar la igualdad de varianza, la prueba t de Student para muestras independientes que resultó con menor actividad física (-33.6 Δ%), MET-minutos/semana antes que durante el confinamiento por COVID-19 (p=.005). Conclusiones: A pesar de disminuir la actividad física, el deportista universitario realizó actividad física en su hogar durante el confinamiento por COVID-19, armonizando el tiempo en los procesos de aprendizaje en su futura profesión.
