This research was carried out under a descriptive and exploratory methodological approach, taking as a reference, students enrolled in the 2020-2 semester of the Bachelor's Degree in Physical Culture and Sports at the University of Sonora, Central Unit and the Bachelor's Degree in Education from the Santa Unit Ana, and that they are in lockdown due to COVID-19. The objective of this research project is to analyze the possible relationship between the levels of stress perceived by university students who are going through a period of confinement due to COVID-19 and to determine how physical activity influences the improvement of physical and psychological health during the pandemic. A standardized questionnaire was applied where two variables were analyzed: Variable 1; Perceived stress in the student university during confinement caused by COVID-19 and, Variable 2; Physical activity and health. The principal results show in variable 1, that the students are not prepared to work from home, they do not have the means or the technical preparation to do so and the time they have in confinement causes them tiredness, anxiety and stress because they do not have physical activity. In variable 2, confinement has led them to isolate themselves from family and friends because they invest many hours in academic activities, sedentary lifestyle and neglect their eating habits, which has caused them tiredness that, together with the lack of physical activity generates stress and anxiety, putting your physical and mental health at risk. As a final conclusion, the realization of physical activity, can help to improve the psychological health of the student, in such a way that it could be reflected in their academic performance.
