摘　　要：The regular practice of physical education is extremely important, because it helps as a positive aspect for the individual＇s physical and mental health. In this sense, one understands that the physical inactivity may influence direct and negatively in the mental health of the population. This study aims to verify the association between physical activity level （PAL） and common mental disorder （CMD） among students of physical education course of a public university in the State of Bahia. It is a cross-sectional descriptive research of quantitative analysis, with a sample of 112 college students （65.2% women and 34.8% men）. They are aged 18-25 years old （83%）, the other researched ones are classified in the ages of 26-30 years old （9.8%）, and above 30 years old （7.2%）. One used the Identification Questionnaire--the International Physical Activity Questionnaire （IPAQ） and the Self-reporting Questionnaire （SRQ-20）. The other used the program Statistical Package for the Social Sciences （SPSS） Version 22.0. It is noticed that 90.2% the participants in the research were classified as sufficiently active and 9.8% as insufficiently active, and 5.1% the men and 12.3% the women being insufficiently active. The students of the initial terms--1 st term （93.5%） and 3rd term （86.2%） presented themselves more active than those in the final terms--5th term （80%） and 7th term （85.2%）. There was positive classification in 18% the sample. There is an evidence that insufficiently active students presented higher pre-disposition to develop CMD than those classified as sufficiently active, ratifying that the admission to the university may be a difficult phase for the student, who ends up adopting an inactive lifestyle that consequently may offer a risk to their mental health.
