This PAR-Q is designed to help you to help yourself. Many benefits are associated with regular exercise, and completion of the PAR-Q form is a sensible first step to take if you are planning to increase the amount of physical activity in your life.

For most people, physical activity should not pose a problem or hazard.The PAR-Q has been designed to identify the small number of people for whom physical activity might be inappropriate or for those who should seek medical advice concerning the type of activity most suitable for them. Common sense is your best guide for answering these questions.

1. Has your doctor ever said that you have a heart condition and that you should only do physical activity recommended by a doctor?

YES/NO

2. Do you feel pain in your chest when you do physical activity? YES/NO

3. In the past month, have you had chest pain when you were not doing physical activity?

YES/NO

4. Do you lose your balance because of dizziness or do you ever lose consciousness? YES/NO

5. Do you have a bone or joint problem (for example, back, knee or hip) that could be made worse by a change in physical activity?

YES/NO

6. Is your doctor currently prescribing drugs (for example, water pills) for your blood pressure or heart condition?

YES/NO

7. Do you know of any other reason why you should not do physical activity? YES/NO

If you have answered YES to any of the above questions, then you are required to gain consent from your doctor before participating in the group exercise to music session.

If you have answered NO to all of the above questions and you have reasonable assurance of your suitability for:

A group exercise to music session – which will include: a warm up, a main component (consisting of cardiovascular and muscular strength and endurance exercises) and cool down with stretches.

You are advised to postpone entry into the programme if you feel unwell or have a temporary illness. You must inform your instructor of any changes to your health status, whilst engaged in your exercise sessions.

Planning and instructing group training to music sessions

Participant information and risk assessment An overview of the participant group, e.g. average age, gender, activity

levels, health status, outcomes of any screening, number of participants. Common goals of the session, participants and level of the session, e.g.

mixed ability. A summary of hazards and risk management measures for the

environment and equipment. Any special considerations or arrangements, e.g. room temperature,

floor surface, space, number of participants, footwear checks, drinking water.

Emergency information – location of the nearest telephone, first aid kit and name of duty first aider.

Group training session plan A warm-up and mobility component appropriate to the main activity (plan

a minimum of 6-12 minutes). A main component using a whole-body approach (plan a minimum of 30-

40 minutes). A cool-down and flexibility component (plan a minimum of 5 minutes).

- Incorporating static and/or dynamic stretching and developmental and maintenance stretching, as appropriate.

The session plan must detail the following for each exercise component: Exercise and activities. Choreography structure appropriate to the component and participants’

needs using a minimum of three of the following: o Verse-chorus.o Reverse pyramid.o Link part to whole.o Add-on.o Layering.o Cross-phrasing.o Pure repetition.

Music breakdown. Appropriate music selection. Equipment (where used). Coaching points, including; cueing, scripting, the use of silence and

motivation techniques. Progressions. Regressions. Alternatives.

Step two

Summative observation

The independent assessor will observe you instructing your group training to music session.

Step three

Self-evaluation

50

Using a combination of your own self-reflections and feedback collected from your participants following the instruction of the planned session, complete the session self-evaluation.

In order to prepare for this assessment, you are offered a practice (mock) submission of up to a class demonstration (you can choose to undertake this on-course, face-to-face with your Tutor Assessor or submit filmed material).
