PAR-Q ( a bit more paper work; you're almost there)
For most people physical activity should not pose any problem 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 them carefully and check the yes or no opposite the question if it applies to you.
|
If you answered YES to one or more questions...
If you have not recently done so, consult with your personal physician by telephone or in person before increasing your physical activity and/or taking a fitness test.
If you answered NO to all questions...
If you answered PAR-Q accurately, you have reasonable assurance of your present suitability for an exercise test.
Notes:
1. This questionnaire applies only to those 15 to 69 years of age.
2. If you have a temporary illness, such as fever, or are not feeling well at this time, you may wish to postpone the proposed activity.
3. If you are pregnant, you are advised to consult with your physician before exercising.
4. If there are any changes in your status relative to the above questions, please bring this information to the immediate attention of your fitness professional.
