World Health Report lists physical inactivity among the main risks contributing to NCDs. Worldwidely, Physical activity and physical educations are declining in schools. The aim of this study was to explore the current situation of the youth’s physical activity, health-related physical fitness in Shanghai, China. [METHOD] A sample of 317 school-based children (boy: 162 vs. girl: 155) aged 11 to 15 yrs were random selected in Shanghai, China. FITNESSGRAM, IPAQ, and Heart Rate Monitor were respectively selected to measure or to estimate the subjects’ health-related physical fitness, physical activity levels in leisure and in physical education classes. [Results] According to the cut-off criteria with relative (age-specific) BMI centile charts for children, we found that 22.1% (boy: 29.0% vs. girl: 14.8%) of the subjects either suffered from overweight or obesity, only 8.2% (boy: 15.4% vs. girl: 0.6%) of the subjects met all minimum standards of 6 items in FITNESSGRAM to be considered physically fit, most girls could not do even one push-up in the Upper Body Strength test. Also the low-to-moderate correlations were found between the subjects’ MVPA and some items in FITNESSGRAM. According to the IPAQ we found 27.1% (boy: 37.7% vs. girl: 16.1%) of the subjects engaged in regular basis of MVPA; girls were significant less active than boys (r= -0.28, p< .001). School-based children have their physical education classes twice in a week; however the most physical education classes were measured not meet the recommendation. We found the children had little opportunity to exercise actively and aerobically in 45 minutes physical education classes. Nevertheless, 17.8% (boy: 13.1%, girl: 22.6%) of the subjects didn’t participate into any kind of leisure physical activity after school physical education. Though the most subjects (71%) watched television less than 2 hour per school day, most of them had their homework at least 2 or 3 hours daily. [Discussion & Conclusion] Government, schools and family need work together to improve children’s knowledge, skills and attitudes on health and to help children understand, develop, and maintain a healthy lifestyle to reduce the risk of developing NCDs when they are in younger age.
