Physical Activity Readiness Questionaire (PAR-Q)

Format

A one page form
Description The PAR-Q is a one page questionaire, an important part of a registration procedure. It can help your members find out if they can start being active. If they answer yes to any of the questions, they should see their health care provider before starting a physical activity program. The form should be filled out, signed and returned at the time of registration - and before joining any exercise session. Program organizers should read the completed PAR-Q, highlight any key information and keep the forms in a file for the duration of the program. PAR-Q’s can be used at the beginning of each program, or kept on file for a period of a year, and then renewed.
