Section 3: Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire
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
below. If you are between 18 and 69, the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire 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.
YES
NO
Please read the questions carefully and answer each one honestly: tick YES or NO.
Has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition and that you should only
do physical activity recommended by a doctor?
Do you feel pain in your chest when you do physical activity?
In the past month, have you had chest pain when you were not doing physical
activity?
Do you lose your balance because of dizziness or do you ever lose consciousness?
Do you have a bone or joint problem (e.g. bone, hip, or knee) that could be made
worse by a change in your physical activity?
Is your doctor currently prescribing drugs (e.g. water pills) or your blood pressure or
heart condition?
Do you know of any other reason why you should not do physical activity?
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
to your doctor about the kind of activities you wish to participate in and follow his/her
advice.
Find 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 more physically active – begin slowly and build up gradually. This is the
safest and easiest way to go.
 Take 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 checked. If your reading is over 144/94, talk with your doctor
before you start becoming much more physically 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.
Delay becoming much more active, if:
 If you are not feeling well because of a temporary illness such as a cold or fever – wait until
you feel better; or
 If you are or may be pregnant – talk to your doctor before you start becoming more active.
I have read, understood, and completed this questionnaire.
Any questions I had were answered to my satisfaction.

Introduction
We would like to understand the impact of the Get Set To Go programme on your physical activity
