I thought you could start with a fitness test if they checked "yes."

I thought the PAR-Q was all about safety, so referring to a physician seems like the best option. But I could be wrong!

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like a fitness test might be too much right away. Maybe the trainer should assess his health first?

I think if he checked "yes" on the PAR-Q, the trainer should probably refer him to his physician first, right? Just to be safe.

The key here is that the client checked "yes" on the PAR-Q, which means there may be some underlying health concerns. The safest approach is to refer the client to his physician for medical clearance before starting any exercise program, so option B is the correct answer.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. The client checked "yes" on the PAR-Q, so I'm thinking we need to do some kind of medical clearance before starting the program. But I'm not sure if that means a fitness test or a referral to the doctor.

I want to make sure I handle this properly. Since the client is 50 years old and checked "yes" on the PAR-Q, I think the best next step would be to refer him to his doctor to get medical clearance before starting any fitness program. Better to be safe than sorry.

I'm just picturing the personal trainer doing the 'nope, nope, nope' meme in their head when they see that 'yes' on the PAR-Q. Better get that client to a doctor, stat!

C) Discuss health history and begin program? I don't think so, not with a 'yes' response on the PAR-Q. That's just asking for trouble. Option B is the way to go.
