Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q)

The Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) is a simple screening tool used to determine if an individual is prepared to start a new exercise program. It consists of a few straightforward questions about your health, such as past medical conditions, symptoms during activity, or risks of heart problems. The goal is to identify any potential health issues that might require medical advice before engaging in increased physical activity. Completing the PAR-Q helps ensure that exercise is safe and tailored to your health status, promoting effective and risk-free participation in physical activity.
