Introduction: Household confinement imposed globally as a consequence of COVID-19 may influence and lead to complications in the health of the population. Changes in physical activity, sedentary lifestyles and eating habits can occur. Poor dietary and mobility habits can worsen people's health status. The aim of this study was to analyse changes in the frequency of physical activity during confinement and its relationship or not with the consumption of alcohol and snacks. Methods: The methodology used was to send an online questionnaire to the Spanish population with questions related to life-style, eating habits and physical activity. A sample of 1640 people was obtained. Results: The results show that the frequency of physical activity decreased in general during confinement in the population studied. On the other hand, there was no relationship between the practice of physical activity and the consumption of alcoholic beverages, but it could be related to the consumption of snacks. Conclusions: The Spanish adult population decreased daily physical activity overall, and snack consumption in-creased during the COVID-19 confinement period. Funding: “The authors declare that there was no funding for this study”.
