Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PARQ).

Being more active is very safe for most people. However, some people should check with their doctor before increasing their physical activity. The following list of questions are required to be completed before you partake in a fitness test assessment. This questionnaire helps us determine how safe it is for you.

​

The questionnaire is suitable for those aged between 15 and 69. 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 in answering these questions. Read the questions carefully and answer each one honestly.
