The study of the school children’s physical fitness in megalopolis was performed in May 2014 and 2015 with 56 general education schools of Saint Petersburg being subject to the tests. The study data and analyses showed the physical fitness rates of the 4th, 9th and 11th class school children varying around the average and higher levels. The senior school children showed some physical fitness sagging trend in the tests that may be explained by the growing educational workloads and negative behavioural models associated with some health risks (including alcohol consumption, smoking, violations of wake-sleep and nutrition schedules etc.). The physical fitness monitoring data may be beneficial for the physical education process correction initiatives and the All-Russian Physical Culture and Sports “Ready for Labour and Defence” (GTO) Complex testing procedure.

Keywords: physical fitness, tests, physical qualities, endurance, health groups.
