Coronavirus disease (COVID-19), originated from Wuhan of China was declared as a global pandemic by World Health Organization (WHO) on 11th March 2020. Since, then it has spread all over the world affecting the life of millions of people. In order to bring down increasing number of cases, many countries including India implemented lockdown of citizens. In India, the lockdown was implemented in various states and cities which started in March 2020. This lockdown resulted in people being confined within their homes, and disrupted their regular daily activities. The current paper aims to find changes in physical activity due to lockdown in three groups viz sedentary individuals, gym goers and athlete group. This is a cross-sectional web-based study, where questionnaire made on google form was used for data collection. There were 90 participants in this study, with 30 in each group within age group of 21-29years both male and female. Participants with chronic disorder and athletes playing other sports except team sports or two sports at a time were excluded.
