The study aimed to explore Chinese university administrators' physical activity (PA) levels and its relationships to self-rated health and body mass index (BMI). A pre-validated survey was used to collect the data. In total, 443 participants took part in the study. The percentages of participants meeting the recommended PA and BMI were calculated. MANOVA was performed to analyze the PA differences in age and gender, and BMI and self-rated health, respectively. It was found that 75.2% of the participants did not meet the recommended PA and 43.8% of them were overweight and/or obese. Self-rated health was a significant factor influencing their light PA only. No gender differences in PA were found, however. The data from the study suggested that there was an urgent need to promote healthy lifestyles among Chinese university administrators by increasing their PA levels and reducing the prevalence of weight problems.
