This paper is intended to make comparison between Uygur college students and Pakistani overseas students in physical health conditions, identify problems with their physique and health conditions and look at the factors affecting physical health conditions of the two groups. The ultimate purpose of this paper is to motivate students to exercise more and provide a point of reference for improving the physical health of Xinjiang Uygur college students while on campus and of Pakistani overseas students while studying in China by identifying weaknesses and strengths of each group's practices.This paper employs literature review, expert interview, measurement, mathematical statistics, questionnaire-based survey and comparative analysis method for comparative study of the physical health conditions of Uygur students and Pakistani students aged between 18 and 21 on the campuses of Shihezi University. The results of comparison show that the two groups of students are comparable in terms of height and Pakistani students weigh obviously heavier than their counterparts according to the average values of height and body weight. The average value of physique index of both male and female Uygur students falls within the normal range, while male Pakistani students have average value of physique index outside the normal range, indicating a problem of overweight of obesity. Female Pakistani students fall within the normal range, but with higher average value of physique index than their Uygur counterparts. The two groups of students differ remarkably from each other in terms of average values of vital capacity and step test, indicating Uygur students have remarkably different somatic function in terms of cardiovascular function and respiratory system function compared with their Pakistani counterparts. When measured by such indicators as grip strength (for male students), standing long jump and sitting forward bending (for female students) that are representative of physical constitution and motor ability, Uygur students outperform their Pakistani counterparts as a whole. In particular, female Pakistani students are significantly outperformed by their Uygur counterparts in terms of quick-acting strength of lower limb and flexibility.The survey findings about the life habits, dietary structure and physical exercise of the two groups of students reveal that Pakistani students are less addicted to alcohol and cigarette than their Uygur counterparts but Uygur students tend to have much more desirable life habits than their Pakistani counterparts in terms of breakfast and sleep; the two groups of students share the similar dietary structure that is characterized by high calorific value and high fat. Male Uygur students are more athletic-minded than their Pakistani counterparts, but female Pakistani students are less motivated to take physical exercise.Through research the following conclusions:(1)Pakistan student body development symmetrical degree is uygur students overweight, Pakistan and uygur male and female undergraduates men and women students of cardiorespiratory function has great gap, Uygur male and female college students'physical quality status overall level showed higher than male and female students in Pakistan.(2)uygur undergraduate sports exercise consciousness, sports participation than Pakistan students good, Pakistan students don't drink, smoke good habit of good in uygur students, but uygur university raw breakfast, sleep habits of living far better than balak students, xinjiang uygur students and international students diet structure more inclined to Pakistan high quantity of heat, high fat diet.(3)physical exercise behavior is big and ba students influence vascular current health condition is the main factor, political system, idea and custom, lifestyle and diet, physical education quality is also affect dimension big with ba student physical health of important factor.Made the following recommendations:(1) strengthen overall education is to improve the sports students' physique health status of the important means(2)attaches great importance to college students'physique health status is set policy of premise. (3)by teaching of sports health, science to exercise the knowledge of the respect such as improving the students'physical health consciousness(4) real-time monitoring of the physical health of students is to improve students'physique health foundation(5)opening the school-based curriculum, enrich extracurricular sports activities, and gradually improve the university students'physical health...
