Main Article Content
Introduction: It is estimated that a significant proportion of young university students between 17 and 22 years old present some postural alteration, as well as sedentary behaviors related to the use of screens, which has led to increasingly lower levels of physical activity in this population, especially in the early stages of COVID-19. The objective of this research was to analyze the effect that screen time and level of physical activity have on body posture in university students in preventive isolation due to COVID-19. Materials and Methods: Quantitative study, with an observational, analytical cross-sectional design, in which 67 university students between 18 and 23 years old participated. They were evaluated using the Television and Video Measures (TVM) questionnaires, the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ), and posturography through the SAPO software version Beta 0.69. Results: 98.51% of the students had a low level of physical activity, the most used screens were the smartphone (35.85±18.96 hrs) and the computer (24.84±18.20 hrs); A weak correlation was found between the use of the smartphone and the computer with the longitudinal alignment of the lower limbs, no significant differences were found in the postural alignment with respect to practicing or not some type of physical activity, but there were in the daily and weekly use of the television. Conclusion: Screen time and the practice or not of physical activity generate a significant effect on the alignment of tibial tuberosities and the leg-hindfoot angle in the sample studied.
