4.3 Questions to Determine Exercise Protocol (PAR Code Questions)
Exhibit 4-11. Questions to determine protocol The questions on the next few screens are designed to determine the exercise protocol
that will be assigned to the SP. These questions are based on the Physical Activity Readiness (PAR) Questionnaire
and will be used to determine a PAR Code that is used to calculate the predicted VO 2
max. The predicted VO 2 max is used to determine the exercise protocol for each individual
SP. See Appendix F for more details. Exhibit 4- 11 shows the first level questions used to determine the SP’s regular
physical activity level. These questions should be read exactly as written. If the SP interrupts and gives an answer before you have completed asking the
question, tell the SP that you are required to read the entire set of options before you
accept a response.
