Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire

PAR-Q is designed to help you help yourself. Many health benefits are associated with regular exercise,
and the completion of PAR-Q is a sensible first step to take if you are planning to increase the amount of
physical activity in your life.
For most people, physical activity should not pose any problems 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 the carefully and check
YES or NO opposite the question if it applies to you. If yes, please explain.
