Agrawal Institute of Physiotherapy and Medical Care Education.&#13;
Methods: The Global Physical Activity Questionnaire (GPAQ) was developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2002. By using it cross-sectional analysis of 130 physiotherapy students aging 18-22 years was conducted in order to assess levels of Physical Activity (PA). Informed consent was taken priorly, data was collected __ampersandsignamp; analysis was done.&#13;
Results: Out of 130 students 10% subjects were having vigorous PA. 58% subjects were having moderate PA. 68% subjects were having low PA. Out of 130 subjects 47% were normal, 30% underweight, 16% over-weight __ampersandsignamp; 6% were obese.&#13;
Conclusion: This result shows that 68% subjects were found to have low PA. 16% were over-weight and 6% were obese. There is need to encourage them because they are the ones who are going to provide major advice for physical activities to the patients, so they must be physically active first and it is necessary to further prevent other non-communicable diseases.&#13;
