Why Is a Par Q Needed

The purpose of the PAR-Q, therefore, is to determine whether a client should have a complete medical evaluation before participating in vigorous or strenuous exercise. The PAR-Q is entirely subjective and based only on the information a client provides as opposed to objective measurements like height, weight, or age.

Why is it important to take par Q?

Personal trainers often use the PAR-Q to identify any reasons why their client shouldn’t start a course of physical exercise. A PAR-Q highlights any medical conditions or physical inabilities that a client may need to speak to their GP about and that the trainer may need to take into consideration during training.

When should a par Q form be given?

If you are between the ages of 15 and 69, the PAR-Q 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. before you start becoming more active.
