What type of information does the PAR-Q+ provide to health professionals?

The PAR-Q+, or Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire for Everyone, is designed to screen individuals for potential health risks related to physical activity. It focuses on gathering information about a person's injury history, current exercise habits, and any medical conditions that could affect their ability to participate in physical exercise safely.

By obtaining this information, health professionals can make informed decisions about appropriate exercise programs, ensuring they align with the individual’s health status and fitness levels. This personalized approach helps to minimize the risk of injury and enhances the effectiveness of the fitness program.

Other options, while they may contain relevant health information, do not specifically focus on the purpose of the PAR-Q+. For example, while height and weight data is important for assessing general health, it is not the primary focus of the PAR-Q+. Family health history and emergency contact information are also significant but are not the main type of information collected by the PAR-Q+.
