Instructions
Complete the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) and the Barriers to Being Active Quiz.
You do not need to submit the documents. Just use them as a guide to answering the following questions:
Describe the process for evaluating health status and discuss the purpose of the PAR-Q.
Based on the information obtained from the PAR-Q, would you need a physician’s permission to engage in exercise testing? Why?
What risk factors are you dealing with, and are there any precautions needed for fitness testing and exercise?
Based on your current stage of change, does anything on the PAR-Q keep you from advancing to the next stage or relapsing back a stage?
What are your major barriers to exercise? What strategies will you use to overcome these barriers?
