Introduction: measures to delay COVID-19 infections (confinement, isolation and social distancing) decreased physical activity (AF) levels. Misinformation increased anxiety in the population. The aim is to associate anxiety levels and AF in physiotherapy students at a private university during a period of social isolation from COVID-19 pandemic in Lima, Peru. Methods: analytical cross-sectional study, conducted in Peruvian physical therapy students during the COVID-19 social isolation, was conducted with three statistical analyses, univariate (n (percentage), X - DE and MED - RIC), bivariate (chi-square test and t Student test) and multivariate (Poisson regression with robust variances in raw and adjusted models) with 95 % CI and a p<0.05 as statistically significant. Results: the total of participants was 86 students, where 72.1% were female, with a median of 21 years, and 87.7% with low PA. In addition, those who presented high state anxiety (AE) and social anxiety (SA) were 68% more likely to present >2868 METS of PA compared to the reference (p = 0.011 and p = 0.020, respectively). Discussion: physical therapy students who reported high state anxiety and high social anxiety have a higher prevalence of performing more PA, this association is statistically significant, no association was found between PA levels according to WHO recommendations and anxiety levels, neither was it found a correlation between PA, state anxiety and social anxiety.
