1. Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q)

For most people, physical activity should not pose any problem or hazard. PAR-Q has been designed to identify the small number of adults for whom physical activity might be inappropriate or those who should have medical advice concerning the type of activity most suitable for them.

Common sense is your best guide in answering these few questions. Please read them carefully and check yes or no for the question if it applies to you.

Has your doctor ever said you have heart condition?
Yes No

Do you frequently have pains in your heart and chest?
Yes No

Do you often feel faint or have spells of severe dizziness?
Yes No

Has a doctor ever said your blood pressure was too high?
Yes No

Has a doctor ever told you that you have a bone or joint problem such as arthritis that has been aggravated by exercise, or might be made worse with exercise?
Yes No

Is there a good physical reason not mentioned here why you should not follow an activity program even if you wanted to?
Yes No

Are you over age 65 and not accustomed to vigorous exercise?
Yes No

Are you currently prescribed or taking over the counter medications that will affect your heart rate and/or blood pressure?
Yes No

If you answered NO to all questions

If you answered PAR-Q accurately, you have reasonable assurance of your present suitability for an exercise program.

If you answered YES to one or more questions

Talk to your doctor by phone or in person BEFORE you start becoming more physically active or BEFORE you have fitness evaluation. Tell your doctor about the PAR-Q and which questions you answered YES.

Delay becoming more active.

If you are not feeling well because of a temporary illness such as a cold or a fever, wait until you feel better;
If you are or may be pregnant, talk to your doctor before you start any physical activity.

Please note: If your health changes in a way that would cause you to answer YES to any of the above questions, inform your fitness or health professional. Ask whether you should change your physical activity plan.
