Why each option

Personal lifestyle habits such as alcohol, caffeine, and tobacco use are collected as part of the medical history to give the fitness professional a full picture of the client's health status.

ABlood profile analysis

A blood profile analysis contains laboratory values such as cholesterol and glucose levels, not self-reported behavioral or lifestyle information.

BPhysical Activity Readiness Questionnaire

The PAR-Q is a brief screening tool used to identify individuals who may need medical clearance before exercise, not to collect detailed personal habit data.

CMedical historyCorrect

The medical history document is designed to capture comprehensive health background information, including lifestyle and personal habits such as substance use, sleep patterns, and diet. These details help identify risk factors and inform safe exercise programming. Personal habit data goes beyond lab values or readiness screening and belongs in the broader medical history intake.

DInformed consent

Informed consent is a legal document that explains risks, benefits, and the client's right to withdraw - it does not gather personal health or lifestyle history.
