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 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 questions below. If you are between the ages of 15- 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. Common sense is your best guide when you answer these questions. Please read the questions carefully and answer each one honestly.
Please check the following statements if they apply to you:
I have high blood pressure
I take blood pressure medication
I have high cholesterol
My father or brother had a heart attack or heart surgery prior to age 55
My mother or sister had a heart attack or heart surgery prior to age 65
Has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition and recommendd only medically supervised physical activity?
Do you frequently have pains in your chest when you perform physical activity?
Have you had chest pain when you were not doing physical activity?
Do you ever lose your balance due to dizziness or do you ever lose consciousness?
Do you have a bone, joint, or any other health problem that causes you pain or limitations that must be addressed when developing an exercise program?
Do you have any respiratory ailments?
Have you given birth within the last 6 months?
Have you had a recent surgery?
I didn't click any of the statements asked in the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire.
Correct
If you have marked YES to any of the above, please elaborate below:
If you answered yes to any of the above:
Talk with your doctor by phone or in-person BEFORE you start becoming more physically active or BEFORE you have a fitness appraisal. Tell your doctor about the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire and which questions you answered YES. 1) 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. 2) Find out which programs are safe and helpful for you.
If you didn't click any of the statements above:
If you didn’t click any of the statements above honestly to all the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire questions, you can be reasonably sure that you can: 1) Start becoming more physically active – begin slowly and build up gradually. This is the safest and easiest way to go. 2) 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 evaluated. If your reading is over 144/94, talk with your doctor before you start becoming much more physically active. 3) If your health changes so that you then answer YES to any of these questions, tell your fitness or health professional. Ask whether you should change your physical activity plan.
