This paper aims to present how the digital media and the pandemic had affected children's physical activity. Through its influence in society, the daily media plays a key role in everyday lives of countless people all over the world regardless of age group, starting at the earliest stages of their lives right up to their end. Under such influence, children are inclined to use technology more than ever before. Daily exposure to the digital media also affects the upbringing as well as education of children. Throughout the use of digital media, children can encourage productive learning with appropriate content and distance learning. In the course of such learning, the parents play a key role; they can control the time that child spends behind the screen, as well as the content that a child is being exposed to. Thus, given the fact that children spend more and more time behind the screen they are becoming vulnerable to various scams and exposed to inappropriate content with significant consequences. The ever increasing availability of digital media to children is bringing several issues such as problems with concentration, attention, speech development, and increased fatigue due to the time spent behind the screen. The outbreak of the pandemic caused by the SARS-COV-2 virus and the subsequent rapid spread of the infection led to the restrictions on movement, due to which children were basically physically inactive and socially isolated. In the course of some of the more restrictive measures to protect the health of the children and other people, ordinary everyday life has moved in the online sphere. Staying and moving in the open turned into staying indoors for days on end, which, as a result, led to a significant decrease in physical activity. By staying in households and educational institutions, we encourage children to be physically active through exercise, cleaning, or organized sports. On the other hand, children are physically more active during their stay outside due to the wide range of activities they can find in the outdoor environment.
