Sporting Force - Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PARQ)

A PARQ is designed to help you help yourself. Many health benefits are associated with regular exercise, and the completion of a PARQ is a sensible first step to take if you are planning to increase the amount of physical activity in your life.

 

For most people, physical activity should not pose and problems or hazard. The PARQ has been designed to identify the small number of adults for whom physical activity might be inappropriate or those who should have medical advice concerning the type of activity most suitable for them.
