Objective: To analyze university students' physical activity levels during the pandemic through the IPAQ questionnaire short version to determine PA indicators and establish solution proposals in subsequent studies.

The population comprised 140 students of the Pedagogy of Physical Activity and Sports Career at the Catholic University of Cuenca Azogues Campus; the sample was 103 students with a 95% confidence level and 5% margin of error, and the sampling applied was non-probabilistic by accessibility. Results: The main findings showed that 30% of men had a low activity level, 44% a moderate physical activity level, and 26% a vigorous physical activity level; on the other hand, 27% of women showed a low physical activity level, 58% moderate, and 15% vigorous. Conclusion: It was evidenced that there were differences in the physical activity levels between the males and females. A higher percentage of male students formed part of the low physical activity level; in contrast, women had a higher prevalence in the moderate physical activity level; in the vigorous physical activity level, men had a higher percentage with 26%, over women with 15%.
