    READINESS
    QUESTIONNAIRE
    (PAR Q) TEST

    COACH EDCEL RONDA


    WHAT IS PAR-Q
    • The Physical Activity Readiness
    Questionnaire (PAR-Q) is a simple
    questionnaire designed to determine
    whether or not you should see a doctor
    before starting/resuming physical
    activity.
    PAR-Q
    QUESTIONS YES 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?

    2. Do you feel pain in your chest when you do


    physical activity?
    3. In the past month, have you had chest pain
    when you were not doing physical activity?

    4. Do you lose your balance because of dizziness or


    do you ever lose consciousness?
    PAR-Q
    QUESTIONS 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?
    6. Is your doctor currently prescribing drugs (for
    example, water pills) for your blood pressure or
    heart condition?
    7. Do you know of any other reason why you
    should not engage in physical activity?
     If you answered YES to one or more questions
     Talk with your family doctor 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.
     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.
