Description The BMI and sit and reach test are the most common assessment in health related physical fitness. Major aims were analyzed to explore the comparatively same age and gender BMI and flexibility status and dissimilarity of diverse nation’s young adults of 18-23 years gender group of Tsinghua University Beijing China (TUBC) and University of Sindh Pakistan (UOSP) male and female students. In this study we were compared the BMI and flexibility of identical age and masculinity group of two diverse nations china and Pakistan young adults students of bilateral Universities. An experimental method was used to collect the normative data of TUBC and UOSP students.  All the procedures were applied by ACSM health related fitness assessment battery, gauging BMI by Quetelet procedure and sit and reach in cm and three trails were administered of 150 male and 150 female of each university students during 2013 spring semester. The mean of male TUBC and UOSP BMI (M=22.63, SD =2.99, lower than UOSP M=23.3, SD= 4.15, t= -1.64, p > 0.05 and female, M =21.22, SD =2.8, lower than UOSP M=22.22, SD= 3.41, t= -2.79, p < 0.05 significance. SRT mean of male TUBC M=9.60+ SD =5.95 UOSP M=9.14+ SD= 8.61, t= 0.54, p <0.05 and female TUBC M=11.05+ SD =5.84, UOSP M=10.87+ SD= 4.32, t= 0.30, p < 0.05. The results indicate that BMI and sit and reach flexibility assessment produces reasonable accurate and stable appraisal of both evaluation. Moreover, it appeared that assessment is a safe and acceptable alternative as a measure of BMI and flexibility in both Universities students. In view of above study this research study would initiated to develop an assertiveness of university students whose were participating in physical education and sports activities and build up fitness assessment attitude to analysis and evaluate their fitness competency pragmatically observed their strength and weakness. The study also explored innovative criterion assessment information and highlighted the physical and physiological performance by normative numerical conclusion. The information will be fruitful for future researcher and pace toward the new phase of research orientation.
