Template FAQs

Common questions about the Martial Arts Health & Medical Questionnaire (PAR-Q) Form — what it captures, when to use it, and how to make it your own.

What is a martial arts PAR-Q form?

A martial arts PAR-Q form is an online physical activity readiness questionnaire that screens a student’s health before training. It asks about heart conditions, chest pain, dizziness, injuries, and medication, so an instructor can identify anyone who should seek medical advice before starting.

What does PAR-Q stand for?

PAR-Q stands for Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire. It is a widely used, short set of health questions designed to flag conditions that might make exercise risky, so instructors can decide whether a student is ready to train or should check with a doctor first.

Why screen students before training?

Screening students helps catch health issues that could make demanding, contact-based training risky. Martial arts place real demand on the heart, joints, and body, so a quick readiness check protects students, supports your duty of care, and lets you adapt training where needed.

Why ask about recent surgery or pregnancy?

Recent surgery, injury, or pregnancy can significantly affect what training is safe. Asking about them lets instructors adapt or advise medical clearance, so students in these situations train appropriately and safely rather than risking harm from full-contact or high-impact work too soon.

What happens if a student answers yes?

A space for details lets students explain any yes answers, giving you the context to respond appropriately. Depending on the answer, you might advise medical clearance, adapt their training, or take extra care, ensuring they start safely rather than being turned away outright.

Is the martial arts PAR-Q form free?

Yes, this martial arts health and medical questionnaire PAR-Q form is completely free, and you can customize the questions and fields to fit your school, embed it on your website, and go live with no coding required. Just create a free Fun Forms account to screen students online.
