Objective : To comment on how COVID-19 quarantine has affected physical activity in youth and induced a pediatric depreobesity status. Key Points Scarce literature has described the impact of COVID-19 on youth levels of moderate to vigorous physical activity. Physical inactivity and social distancing could lead to physical and psychosocial problems increasing the risk of obesity and depression. Regular moderate to vigorous physical activity plays an essential role to limit or prevent the negative consequences of prolonged quarantine periods on pediatric depreobesity.
