The new PAR-Q+ and ePARmed-X+

2015 PAR-Q+ and Q-AAP+

On behalf of the PAR-Q+ Collaboration, we are pleased to announce that the 2015 PAR-Q+ and 2015 Q-AAP+ were officially released in the Health & Fitness Journal of Canada and this website (the official website for the PAR-Q+ and Q-AAP+). The 2015 versions of the PAR-Q+ and Q-AAP+ replace all previous versions and reflect another year of systematic evaluation by our team and various international collaborations. We are honoured to continue to work with colleagues from around the world on the evaluation and refinement of evidence-based best practice in pre-participation screening and risk stratification.
