    NAME:

    DATE:

    PAR-Q is designed to help you help yourself. Many health benefits are associated with regular exercise, and the
    completion of PAR-Q is a sensible first step to take if you are planning to increase the amount of physical activity in
    your life.
    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 box opposite the question if it applies to you.
    YES

    NO

    1. Has your doctor ever said you have heart trouble?


    2. Do you frequently have pains in your heart and chest?
    3. Do you often feel faint or have spells of severe dizziness?
    4. Has a doctor ever said your blood pressure is too high?
    5. Has your doctor ever told you that you have a bone or joint problem,
    such as arthritis, that has been aggravated by exercise or might
    be made worse with exercise?
    6. Is there a good physical reason not mentioned here why you should
    not follow an activity program even if you wanted to?
