This article aims to evaluate body composition, physical activity level, screen time and minor mental disorders in elementary school teachers during the Covid-19 pandemic. Cross-sectional research and the quantitative method were adopted, with 101 teachers from the basic education network, aged between 19 and 65 years. Data collection took place between the months of July and December 2021 through an electronic questionnaire, prepared by the author. The collected data were stored in an excel 2016 spreadsheet, and their results were analyzed in the Instat3 program, using descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation, and percentage of responses) and comparative tests (chi-square and unpaired T test), with significance accepted when p<0.05. It was concluded that there was a 20% reduction in the practice of systematic physical activities; worsens in diseases such as diabetes (34%), depression (50%), anxiety (26%) and panic syndrome (29%). As for time in front of screens, seven out of 10 teachers spent up to six hours in front of screens, but during the pandemic, less than 4 fit into this group (70.75% vs 36.96%). Individuals who reported spending more than 10 hours. Increased from 29.25% to 60.04%. It is necessary to promote public policies to encourage the practice of physical activities and the quality of life of teachers, a category greatly damaged by the pandemic, in order to minimize physical and mental damage during these years.
