The aim of the present study was to analyze the association between the level of physical activity and the sedentary behavior of Physical Education students at a college in the West Zone of the State of Rio de Janeiro. For this, a sample group of 90 students, 56 male and 34 females, was formed for convenience. All subjects answered the International Physical Activity Questionnaire and were categorized as satisfactorily active or unsatisfactorily active, as well as having their sitting time quantified representing sedentary behavior. To assess the association between the distributions, the Chi-Square test was applied and a significance level of 5% (p <0.05) was accepted. No association was found between the level of physical activity and sedentary behavior in the sample group (p = 0,408). It is concluded, then, that individuals considered satisfactorily active are not necessarily within the criteria that hypothetically exercise protection with regard to health if the counterpoint that sedentary behavior represents on such a screen is taken into account. Still, the lack of association points to an incongruous path with regard to the questionnaire's categorizations, portraying a possible weakness of this instrument.
