Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire: PAR-Q
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 questions in the box below. If you are between the ages of 15 and 69, the PAR-Q 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 answered YES to one or more questions
Talk to your doctor either in person or by phone BEFORE you start becoming more physically active and/or taking a fitness
appraisal. Tell your doctor which questions you answered YES to on this form.

You may still be able to do any activity you want as long as you start slowly and build up gradually or it may be that you
need to restrict your activities to those which are safe for you.
If you answered NO to all of the questions above
You can be reasonably sure that you can exercise safely and have low risk of having any medical complications from
exercise. It is still important to start slowing and increase gradually. It may also be helpful to have a fitness assessment with
a fitness instructor or personal trainer in order to determine where to begin.

PLEASE NOTE: If your health changes so that subsequently you answer YES to any of the above questions, inform your
fitness or health professional immediately. Ask whether you should change your physical activity or exercise plan.
