 Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q)
The Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) is a tool used to evaluate an individual's readiness
to engage in physical activity. The objectives or purpose of PAR-Q include assessing an individual's
current level of physical activity, identifying any barriers to physical activity, and providing guidance on
how to safely increase physical activity levels.

PAR-Q also helps to identify individuals who may benefit from more specialized exercise programs. For
example, individuals with chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or arthritis may require
specialized exercise programs tailored to their specific needs. By using PAR-Q to assess an individual's
current health status, fitness professionals can develop exercise programs that are safe and effective for
these individuals. The purpose of PAR-Q is to promote physical activity as a means to improve overall
health and well-being while minimizing the risk of injury or adverse health outcomes.
