Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the health-related physical fitness, lifestyle activity, and body composition among personnel and students, faculty of nursing, Srinakharinwirot University.Methods: This descriptive cross sectional study consisted of two hundreds samples including male and female age 17- 54 years old who are the personnel and students, Faculty of Nursing. The samples were divided into three groups using energy expenditure in kilocalorie per week (kcal/wk): 1) physically inactive, 2) lifestyle physical active, and 3) exercise. The instruments consisted of personal data sheet, Self-report Physical Activity (PA) questionnaire cover activities of the household, occupation, leisure-time, exercise, and transportation, and physical fitness evaluation using the cardio-respiratory endurance, body composition, muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility.Results: The results showed that all participants were healthy with normal Body Mass Index (BMI). However they had higher waist circumference than standard. Students had normal average value of percent fat, while the personnel had higher value of percent fat than standard. The personnel presented higher value of average EE of LPA than students, while students presented higher value of PA EE in recreation and transportation. Also, the personnel indicated similar average EE and LPA in middle and vigorous level, household, and recreation. About 60% of students were inactive and one-third conducted exercise. Most personnel presented lifestyle active and half of them conducted exercise. In addition, instructors presented the highest value in household, while staff presented the highest value in occupation. Average value of the health-related physical fitness among participants presented standard value (healthy), except, body flexibility presented under standard value. Average value of cardio-respiratory endurance, body composition, muscular strength and endurance of lower extremity and upper extremity, and body flexibility were 115, 30.1, 47.92, 64.07 times per minute, and 1.48 inches, respectively. PA presented the highest statistically significance to upper extremity strength (.832*, p-value .01) and the least value of statistically significance to body flexibility (.620**, p-value = .01). The reliability value of the total EE indicated very good (.811, Lo bound 4.56 and Up bound 7.56)Conclusion: Participants who conducted higher level of LPA or exercise have better health-related physical fitness than those who were inactive.
