Society and the economy, which should be increasingly based on knowledge and learning, require an innovative and integrated university; with a level of relevance that allows it to train a professional whose modes of action have a positive impact on society. In Cuban universities, the practice of sport and physical activity have as a fundamental objective to contribute to the integral and harmonious formation of the future sports professional, improving health and correcting pathologies practically in their entirety. On the other hand, the Covid-19 pandemic has imposed a modification in the ways of acting, bringing with it a greater use of technologies, thus causing people to assume prolonged and sedentary postures; likewise, the intense hours of mental work have caused changes in life habits and psychological discomfort. Since these aspects may have an impact on physical conditions, this contribution makes an assessment of the social importance of healthy habits and lifestyles during Covid-19 in university environments, with emphasis on the development of physical activity.

Palabras clave : physical activity; lifestyle; healthy habits.
