1. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY READINESSQUESTIONNAIRE (PAR-Q)


The questionnaire will indicate whether you should check with your doctor before you start a
programme of physical activity. If you are over 69 years of age and you are not used to being very active
you should certainly check with your doctor. We will treat all information confidentially.

Yes No

If you have answered yes to one or more questions


Talk to your doctor by phone or in person before participating in physical activity. Tell your
doctor about the question(s) you have answered yes to. You may still be able to do any activity
you want - as long as you begin slowly and build up gradually- or you may need to limit your
activities to those which are safe for you. Talk with your doctor about the kind of activity you
wish to participate in and follow their advice.
If you have answered no to all questions
You can be reasonably confident that you can start to increase your physical activity and take
part in a progressive exercise programme. Remember - begin slowly and build up gradually.
Your privacy
Why do we collect this information from you? We use the information here to assess your ability
to take part in a programme of physical activity.
I have read, understood and completed this questionnaire. All questions have been answered to
the best of my knowledge. I confirm I have completed a gym induction
