Describe the differences between a par-q, medical screening, medical evaluation, and exercise stress test.

Within this question, the listed tests have been put in the order of how rigorous they are. Whilst a PAR-Q test simply involves the test participant writing down the answers to a series of question, the other tests included in the question all need a doctor present in order to be performed. For example, the most rigorous test, the exercise stress test, is only ever used when it is suspected that a patient might have a condition that could be fatal.
