OBJECTIVETo understand the levels of total physical activities among different populations, and the distribution of four domains.

METHODSWith proportional stratified sampling and cluster sampling method, 3555 subjects were selected including officials, company staff, high school students, community population and floating population.

RESULTSThe proportions for inactive, insufficiently active, minimally active and health enhancing physical active (HEPA active) as a whole were 20.5%, 10.1%, 26.5% and 42.9% respectively. Community population had the highest level of HEPA active which was 65.6%. Floating population had the highest level of inactivity of 33.1%. Apart from the male floating population, the active level in transportation, physical activity among the investigated were the highest compared to other three active domains. Leisure-time physical activity was in the opposite.

CONCLUSIONThe type of physical activities among general citizens were mainly of physical activity related to transportation but less leisure-time physical activity was seen. Floating population had the highest level of both HEPA activity and inactivity.
