A PARQ is a physical activity readiness questionnaire. A PARQ is completed before starting a training programme to check that exercise is safe.

What should happen if a person answers yes to a question on a PARQ?

The person should see a doctor before starting to train. The training programme may then be changed to suit the condition.

How might a training programme be amended for someone whose PARQ shows a knee injury?

Low-impact activities such as swimming or cycling could replace running. The intensity could be lowered and then increased gradually.

How can the principles of training be applied to prevent overuse injuries?

Training loads should be increased gradually, with rest days built in. Overtraining puts repeated stress on the same tissues and causes overuse injuries.

How does following the rules of an activity help to prevent injury?

Many rules exist to protect players, such as the ban on high tackles in rugby. Officials who enforce the rules reduce dangerous play.
