The general objective was to determine the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the physical activity of the students of the second semester of the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the UNA.
The study was observational, descriptive and cross-sectional, based on the results of the survey made by Google Forms of a total of 107 students enrolled in the second semester of the Faculty of Medical Sciences of the National University of Asunción. The results showed that 62.6% of those surveyed had changes in physical activi- ty and that the majority decreased their weekly exercise time due to the pandemic.
