PAR-Q
The Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire— PAR-Q
Common sense is your best guide when you answer these questions. Please read the questions carefully and answer each one honestly: check YES or NO.
1. Has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition and that you should only do physical activity recommended by a doctor?
(Required)
Yes
No
2. Do you feel pain in your chest when you do physical activity?
(Required)
Yes
No
3. In the past month, have you had chest pain when you were not doing physical activity?
(Required)
Yes
No
4. Do you lose your balance because of dizziness or do you ever lose consciousness?
(Required)
Yes
No
5. Do you have a bone or joint problem (for example, back, knee, or hip) that could be made worse by a change in your physical activity?
(Required)
Yes
No
6. Is your doctor currently prescribing drugs (for example, water pills) for your blood pressure or heart condition?
(Required)
Yes
No
Do you know of any other reason why you should not do physical activity?
(Required)
Yes
No
If you answered YES to one or more questions:
✓ Talk with your doctor by phone or in person BEFORE you start becoming much more physically active or BEFORE you have a fitness appraisal. Tell your doctor about the PAR-Q and which questions you answered YES.
✓ You may be able to do any activity you want—as long as you start slowly and build up gradually. Or, you may need to restrict your activities to those that are safe for you. Talk with your doctor about the kinds of activities you wish to participate in and follow his/her advice.
✓ Find out which community programs are safe and helpful for you.
If you answered NO honestly to all PAR-Q questions, you can be reasonably sure that you can
✓ Start becoming much more physically active—begin slowly and build up gradually. This is the safest and easiest way to go.
✓ Take part in a fitness appraisal—this is an excellent way to determine your basic fitness so that you can plan the best way for you to live actively. It is also highly recommended that you have your blood pressure evaluated. If your reading is over 144/94, talk with your doctor before you start becoming much more physically active.
Delay becoming much 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; or
✓ If you are or may be pregnant—talk to your doctor before you start becoming more active.
Please note:
If your health changes so that you then answer YES to any of the above questions, tell your fitness or health professional. Ask whether you should change your physical activity plan.
Informed Use of the PAR-Q: The Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology, Health Canada, and their agents assume no liability for persons who undertake physical activity, and if in doubt after completing this questionnaire, consult your doctor prior to physical activity.
No changes permitted. You are encouraged to copy the PAR-Q but only if you use the entire form.
Note:
If the PAR-Q is being given to a person before he or she participates in a physical activity program or a fitness appraisal, this section may be used for legal or administrative purposes.
