PAR-Q
The Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire developed by the British Columbia Ministry of Health and the Multidisciplinary Board on Exercise (MABE). It is designed for self-screening by anyone who is planning to start an exercise programme that includes moderate to strenuous activity, such as aerobics, jogging, cycling, power walking, and swimming (figure 49).
