BACKGROUND: A review of the scientific literature shows an association between the level of physical activity and the depression and anxiety symptoms. However, there are few studies about this relationship in college students under the current context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Metropolitan-Lima, Peru. OBJECTIVES: Determine if there is an association between the variables of interest. METHODS: A cross-sectional study based on anonymous virtual survey distributed via snow-ball sampling method was performed among 189 participants. Physical activity was assessed using the IPAQ-SF questionnaire. Anxiety and depression symptoms were evaluated through the DASS-21 questionnaire. RESULTS: No association was found between physical activity and anxiety symptoms (PR Crude = 0,89; 95% CI: 0,50-1,58; p= 0,698 y PR Adjusted = 0,92; 95% CI: 0,52-1,60; p= 0,776). However, an association was found between physical activity and depression symptoms in both the crude analysis (PR Crude = 0,50; 95% CI: 0,27-0,92; p= 0,026) and after adjusted analysis by confounder variables such as age and medical degree (PR Adjusted = 0,54; 95% CI: 0,30-0,97; p= 0,041). CONCLUSIONS: An association between physical activity and depression symptoms was found in the studied population.
