Physical activity readiness questionnaire (PAR-Q) and you (a questionnaire for people aged 15 - 69)

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.

If you answered YES to one or more questions:Talk with your doctor by phone or in person BEFORE you start becoming much more physically active or BEFORE you have a fitness appraisal. Tell your doctor about the PAR-Q and which questions you answered YES.

you may be able to do any activity you want - as long as you start slowly and build up gradually. Or, you • may need to restrict your activities to those which are safe for you. Talk with your doctor about the kinds of activities you wish to participate in and follow his/her advicefind out which community programmes are safe and helpful for you•

If you answered NO to all questions:If you answered NO honestly to all PAR-Q questions, you can be reasonably sure that you can:

start becoming much more physically active - begin slowly and build up gradually. This is the safest and • easiest way to gotake part in a fitness appraisal - this is an excellent way to determine your basic fitness so that you can • plan the best way for you to live actively. It is also highly recommended that you have your blood pressure evaluated. If you reading is over 144/94, talk with your doctor before you start becoming much more physically active

1. has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition and that you should only do physical activity recommended by a doctor?

YES NO

2. do you feel pain in your chest when you do physical activity? YES NO

3. in the past month, have you had chest pain when you were not doing physical activity?

YES NO

4. do you lose your balance because of dizziness or do you ever lose consciousness? YES NO

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

YES NO

6. is your doctor currently prescribing drugs (for example, water pills) for your blood pressure or heart conditions?

YES NO

7. do you know of any other reason why you should not do physical activity? YES NO



DELAY BECOMING MUCH MORE ACTIVE:if you are not feeling well because of a temporary illness such as a cold or a fever - wait until you feel • better; orif you are or may be pregnant - talk to your doctor before you start becoming more active•

PLEASE NOTE: If your health changes so that you then answer YES to any of the above questions, tell your fitness or health professional. Ask whether you should change your physical activity plan.

Informed Use of the PAR-Q: The Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology, Health Canada, and their agents assume no liability for persons who undertake physical activity, and if in doubt after completing this questionnaire, consult your doctor prior to physical activity.

NO CHANGES PERMITTED. YOU ARE ENCOURAGED TO PHOTOCOPY THE PAR-Q BUT ONLY IF YOU USE THE ENTIRE FORM.

NOTE: If the PAR-Q is being given to a person before he or she participates in a physical activity programme or a fitness appraisal, this section may be used for legal or administrative purposes.

“I have read, understood and completed this questionnaire. Any questions I had were answered to my full satisfaction.”

Note: This physical activity clearance is valid for a maximum of 12 months from the date it is completed and becomes invalid if your condition changes so that you would answer YES to any of the seven questions.



The Health Commitment Statement sets the standards that health & fitness centres and users can reasonablyexpect from each other in regards to the health of the user.

Background

The HCS is the evolution of the PAR-Q, which has existed for the past 15 years. The HCS reflects governmentpolicy and legal trends, which aim to shift responsibility for personal health from the operator to the user. TheFitness Industry Association is taking the lead in allowing operators to be more accessible while facilitating abetter working relationship between fitness and medical sectors in the community. This has also provided anopportunity to align the HCS to the skills and expertise of fitness professionals established through REPs.

The HCS has been developed by Fitness Industry operators, medico-legal professionals and health providers tosupport the evolving requirements of users and operators.

Purpose

develop the current PAR-Q to simplify access to activity facilities for users• assist the Health, Medical and Fitness industries to work in harmony while supporting initiatives to • encourage the nation to become more activebring health and fitness clubs in line with virtually all other sports and active leisure in relation to health • mattersdemonstrate respect for members by placing responsibility where it belongs, with the individual member• be consistent with current Government policies in encouraging every individual to take responsibility for • his or her own healthoffer the opportunity to clubs to maximise their membership• be in keeping with current trends in legislation and case law• be consistent with a more modern approach to individual responsibility in medicine and the law• provide the opportunity for a uniform approach across the health and fitness industry, producing greater • clarity and reducing costsoffer a simple solution in plain English, which is accessible to fitness instructors, staff and members• remove stress and anxiety from staff in relation to health of members•

The HCS has been designed for users in a gym environment and with all operators in mind, allowing flexibilitywith its usage.
