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.

Has your doctor ever said you have heart trouble?YesNo

Do you frequently have pains in your heart and chest?YesNo

Do you often feel faint or have spells of severe dizziness?YesNo

Has a doctor ever said your blood pressure was too high?YesNo

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?YesNo

Is there a good physical reason not mentioned here why you should not follow an activity
program even if you wanted to?YesNo

Are you over age 65 and not accustomed to vigorous exercise?YesNo

before increasing your physical activity and/or taking a fitness test.
