Physiotherapy, more than any other science, is strongly connected with physical well–being. Therefore, the objective of this research is to study the knowledge, attitude and physical activity in physiotherapy students. A cross–sectional survey was conducted using a self–designed questionnaire amongst 100 (convenient sampling) male and female final year physiotherapy students in the age group of 20–22 years from SBB College of Physiotherapy, Ahmedabad. The data was analyzed using PSPP–V.0.8.1.

From the analysis of this sample it was found that the knowledge regarding physical fitness was fairly low, the attitude towards being active was unfavourable and very few students practiced physical activity regularly. The study illustrates the sedentary lifestyle in students and necessitates the inclusion of physical activity, so as to create more integrity in physiotherapists, and to provide an enabling environment to promote physical activity so that it can be inculcated in patients too.
