    Objective: To determine the level of physical activity in elderly individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic at the Rk Rehab Physical Therapy Center in 2022. Materials and Methods: The population of the study was 150 elderly patients from the Rk Rehab Physical Therapy Center, with a sample of 108 elderly patients chosen using basic random sampling. Results: The study found that 59% of participants were aged 60-69 years, 33% were aged 70-79 years, and 8% were aged 80-89 years. The majority of participants were female (61%), and 39% were male. 63% of elderly participants engaged in low-intensity physical activity, 25% engaged in moderate activity, 70% walked less than 1 hour, and 67% spent more than 5 hours sitting. Conclusions: Most participants were between 60-69 years old, with physical activity levels ranging from moderate to low. Women made up the majority of participants, and only 39% had a normal BMI, while 63% did not engage in vigorous physical exercise.
