The shockwave of the global health crisis at the end of November 2019 haunted people around the world. It is man's worst nightmare on planet earth. This dream is something real that has had a profound impact on social, economic and political aspects including human activities. Sports activities also receive the same effect. Therefore, this study aims to review the driving factors and barriers to sports activities during MCO among Z-generation. The study also looked at the differences between the driving factors and the hindering factors of sports activities involvement during MCO. A cross-sectional survey research design with a quantitative approach was adopted, where the method of data collection using a questionnaire involving a sample of students of the educational institution was selected as the study sample. The results of this study show that the motivating factors for sports activities are higher than the hindering factors in sports during MCO. Findings also found that motivating and hindering factors are significantly different to the mode of sports involvement during MCO. The discovery of this finding will contribute to the development of sports science and it can be used as an intervention for sports involvement if there is an unexpected situation in the form of confinement.
