PAR-Q

Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire

PAR-Q

• common method of uncovering health and lifestyle issues prior to an exercise programme starting.

PAR-Q

self-screening tool that is typically used by fitness trainers or coaches to determine the possible safety risks of exercising based on your health history,current symptoms, and risk factors.

Application of ACSM’s Pre-Participation Health Screening Algorithm

ACSM’s Pre-Participation Health Screening Algorithm

used to identify individuals who may be at risk for exercise-related cardiovascular complications. It helps fitness professionals and health providers decide whether someone needs medical clearance before engaging in physical activity or increasing the intensity of their exercise.

Low risk

Can start moderate to high intensity

Moderate risk

Light or moderate intensity, needs some guidance

Hight risk

Get doctor’s clearance first

Which individual needs medical clearance?

FITNESS TEST

refers to a set of activities designed to measure a person’s physical health and ability in different areas such as strength, endurance, flexibility, and body composition.

Health-Related Fitness

helps you stay healthy and prevent illness. They are important for everyday life.

Skill-Related Fitness

helps you do well in sports or physical activities. They focus on performance

BODY COMPOSITION

the body’s relative amount of fat to fat-free mass.

Weight (Body Mass)

heaviness or lightnes ups of a person. (In combination with stature (height) is used to determine body mass index that indicates whether one is of normal weight, overweight or obese.)

Height (Stature)

is the distance between the feet on the floor to the top (vertex) of the head in standing position.

Flexibility

ability of the joints and muscles to move through its full range of motion.

SIT AND REACH

Purpose – to test the flexibility of the lower back and extremities.

Cardiovascular endurance

the ability of the heart, lungs and blood vessels to deliver oxygen to working muscles and tissues, as well as the ability of those muscles and tissues to utilize the oxygen.

Endurance

may also refer to the ability of the muscle to do repeated work without fatigue.

3 MINUTE STEP TEST

Purpose - to measure cardiovascular endurance.

Strength

is the ability of the. muscle to generate force against physical objects

Push up

Purpose - to measure strength of upper extremities.

Basic plank

Purpose - to measure strength/stability of the core muscles.

Muscular endurance is measured using the zipper test.

FALSE-PUSH UP

FALSE - BODY COMPOSITION

Body mass index helps determine your heart rate performance during physical activity.

TRUE

The plank test is an effective measure of core strength and stability.

FALSE- 3 MINUTE STEP TEST

Cardiovascular endurance is assessed using a five-minute step test.

TRUE

The sit-and-reach test is used to measure lower back and hamstring flexibility.

TRUE

Health-related fitness helps individuals stay healthy and prevent illnesses

TRUE

Performing the plank hold evaluates core strength, especially in the abdominal and back areas.

FALSE- CARDIOVASCULAR ENDURANCE

The 3-minute step test primarily measures muscular strength.

FALSE- ZIPPER TEST

Plank test measures shoulder flexibility and range of motion.

TRUE

Body composition can be assessed by calculating it based on height and weight.
