AB The decrease in physical activity among adolescents has become a global health problem. From the educationalpoint of view, preventing sedentarism is of uttermost importance to avoid repercussions on economic and social levels. Thisstudy aims to analyze the characteristics and time dedicated to physical and leisure activities by adolescent during the lockdowncaused by COVID-19 (2019, April 1 to May 1). The Minnesota Lesuire Time Physical Activity Questionnaire was usedtelematically on 4070 Canarian high school students (M=15.01; SD=3.53 years) during lockdown. 83.13% of the sampledid not follow the WHO recommendations regarding physical activity, 63.64% did not keep ACSM recommendations topassive leisure, and 37% did not respect those regarding sleeping time. Likewise, as age increased there was a decrease in theamount of time dedicated to physical activity and thus failure to follow the recommendations of the relevant institutions. Alsothe time allotted to passive leisure was M=3.55 (SD=2.75) hours per day. It is concluded that the time dedicated to physicalactivity is insufficient according to the official bodies like as the use of screens acquires great predominance in the employmentof adolescents’ free time, causing the need to consider future interventions to mitigate the sedentarism level and its consequences.Keywords.
