The study aims to identify the physical activity status and energy consumption of college students by conducting a 24-hour time-use survey. A total of 388 students(219 males, 169 females) at K University in Seoul were involved, and the study was conducted for 24 hours over two days. Physical activities were classified based on the classification of activities announced in 2019, and the types of physical activity, energy consumption, and level of physical activity were measured. As a result, college students were mostly spending time sleeping, where males slept for an average of 7 hours and 39 minutes(27.3%) while the average figure for females was 7 hours and 29 minutes(26.9%). Following it was studying, where males and females spent an average of 7 hours and 14 minutes(15.9%) and 6 hours of 51 minutes (14.6%) respectively. Also, the third activity that college students spent time the most was walking, where males and females walked for a daily average of 1 hour and 35 minutes(5.6%) and 1 hour and 40 minutes(5.3%) respectively. In regards to the level of physical activity, the amount of consumed energy was compared among the subjects; males(22 non-active(10%), 95 low-active(44%), 86 active(39%), and high-active(7%)) showed a significant difference in categories “exercising” and “walking”(p<.05) while the result was the same for females(14 non-active(8.3%), 68 low-active(40.2%), 82 active(48.5%), and 5 high-active(3.03%))(p<.05). In conclusion, Korean college students were found to have “low” Physical Activity Level(PAL) within “active” groups, where they showed a significant difference in categories “exercising” and “walking.”
