Objective. This study complements other studies previously conducted and aims at determining the current level of physical activity in girls in the current pandemic context, the data obtained being compared with the mentioned studies. Methods.The research was conducted in 2022 on a number of 60 girls between the ages of 19 and 35 and was based on a questionnaire that shows the Physical Activity Index. The mentioned questionnaire has three parameters (intensity, duration and frequency) and is calculated very easily by multiplying the scores from each parameter, resulting in a value that shows us a score that can be interpreted according to a given appreciation grid. Results.The results obtained show that, with the exception of the frequency parameter, all parameters and the Physical Activity Index decreased in 2022 compared to the other years researched, the difference between the best value of the Physical Activity Index and that obtained in 2022 being over 10 points, which shows us that the pandemic situation has affected us all, regardless of age, the girls being classified as insufficiently active/relatively sedentary, with a category of poor physical condition. Under the given conditions, it is recommended that the physical activity to be carried out permanently, even if this is done at home, at the office (during break), in the park, etc., and it can be done in the form of stretching, walking, running, fitness, etc. Movement containment measures taken during the COVID-19 pandemic have also had a negative effect on physical activity, the impossibility of leaving the house or certain restrictions that have been taken have caused regular physical activity to suffer. Conclusions.Realizing that during the pandemic it is quite difficult to be an active person by diminishing opportunities, I believe that a regular schedule of physical activity can be maintained, which is a matter exclusively for the person concerned, the formation of a daily routine in which involves movement being recommended, by this maintaining a state of well-being felt by those who achieve this.
