To collect the data, two international scales were used: “Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS-24)” to measure emotional intelligence and “international physical activity test IPAQ”. The results indicate that men have 53.8 % 53.8 % EI classified as low 30.2 % moderate, the accumulated being 84%, 16% classified as high. While women 61.3 % of I.E classify as low, 32.3 % moderate, the accumulated is 93.5 %, with only 6.5 % classifying high, as for the levels of physical activity, those with the greatest sedentary lifestyle are students from 18 to 20 years old with 50 %, followed by those from 24 to 27 years old with 41.4%, those from 21 to 23 years old with 39.7 % and those from 27 to 32 years old with 14.3 %. In the analysis of the Spearman correlation coefficient between both variables, the result is 0.100 and has a p-value (bilateral) of 0.245, so the null hypothesis was accepted.
