Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) and you
(a questionnaire for people aged 15 - 69)
Regular physical activity is fun and healthy, and increasingly more people are starting to become more active every day. Being more active is very safe for most people. However, some people should check with their doctor before they start becoming much more physically active.
If you are planning to become much more physically active than you are now, start by answering the seven questions in the box below. If you are between the ages of 15 and 69, the PARQ will tell you if you should check with your doctor before you start. If you are over 69 years of age, and you are not used to being very active, check with your doctor. 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.
If you answer 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 PARQ and which questions you answer 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 which 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 programmes are safe and helpful for you If you answer NO to all questions: If you answer NO honestly to all PARQ 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.
