Lesson 4 (Activities)

Pre-activity: Getting ready for Physical Activity

Directions: Prior to any physical activity, it is just right to assess your general
health through the PAR–Q & YOU questionnaire. Fill up the PAR-Q as pre-
requisite to check readiness for physical activity. Please fill-up and answer the
questions honestly.

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.
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?
