During the COVID-19 pandemic, people around the world have been affected by strict restrictions on movement and social isolation, thus limiting access to physical activity. The objective of this study was to analyze the variations in the level of physical activity related to the time of physical exercise, number of steps and time standing in Apple Watch users. Regardless of gender, a significant reduction in the number of steps during the period of social isolation was observed in eutrophic and overweight subjects. An increase in the percentage of Exercise Days (%/mo) was observed only in the obese in June. In overweight subjects of both genders, they were the ones who presented a greater physical exercise levels per day and per week. The main reduction in Stand (hr/day) occurred in eutrophic men, and the greatest increase in obese women. Based on the results, we conclude that in the same way that the implementation of restrictive measures of social isolation initially provided an increase in sedentary behavior and a reduction in the practice of exercises, with the extension of these measures, new opportunities and alternatives emerged for changing behavior related to physical activity due to the increase in free time and greater concern with health care.
