PAR-Q & You

Regular physical activity is fun and healthy, and increasingly more people are starting to become more active every day. Being more active is very safe for most people. However, some people should check with their doctor before they start becoming much more physically active.

If you are planning to become much more physically active than you are now, start by answering the seven questions in the box below. If you are between the ages of 15 and 69, the PAR-Q will tell you if you should check with your doctor before you start. If you are over 69 years of age, and you are not used to being very active, check with your doctor.

Common sense is your best guide when you answer these questions. Please read the questions carefully and answer each one honestly: check YES or 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?

5. Do you have any bone or joint problems(for example, back, knee or hip) that could be made worse by a change in your physical activity?

6. Is you doctor currently prescribing drugs for your blood pressure or heart condition?

7. Do you know of any other reason that you should not do exercise?

How did I do? If I answered yes to any of the questions, I will discuss it with my trainer. I will bring a letter of consent from my
physician authorizing my participation in the exercise program if deemed necessary.
