De Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q) is een korte vragenlijst waarmee een professional kan inventariseren of een patiënt verantwoord kan deelnemen aan een oefenprogramma. For most people, physical activity will pose no problems or dangers. However, it is important to use this questionnaire to identify those individuals for whom physical activity is less appropriate or for whom it is prudent to obtain medical advice on the type of activity that is most appropriate.

To avoid unnecessary risks, the questions below must be answered before undergoing the trial session of EMS training. Participation in the EMS training sessions is at your own risk. At the end of the questionnaire there is space for medical details, which may be of interest, e.g.: any surgeries, physical problems. Analyzing someone's medical history is crucial. It gives the health and fitness professional insight into possible life-threatening chronic conditions such as cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes or rheumatism.
