PAR-Q is an acronym for Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire. It is a form containing questions relating to the health status of a client that is about to undergo fitness training. The PAR-Q is one of the intake forms (infact one of the most important) required by a client to fill before starting the physical/fitness training.
The PAR-Q is used to assess a client's health state in order to make a decision on whether or not the fitness training will be commenced. It is the intake form necessary to ensure that there are no prior medical concerns for a client. If there are, the training might be suspended till medical advice is sought.
