Introduction: Predicting the risk of sports injuries and sports-induced bleeds (SIBs) in people with haemophilia (PWH) may support clinical counselling.
Aim: To assess the association between motor proficiency testing and sports injuries and SIB sand to identify a specific set of tests for predicting injury risk in PWH. Methods: In a single centre, prospective study male PWH aged 6–49 playing sports ≥1x/week were tested for running speed and agility, balance, strength and endurance. Test results below −2Z were considered poor. Sports injuries and SIBs were collected for12 months while 7 days of physical activity(PA) for each season was registered with accelerometers. Injury risk was analysed according to test results and type of physical activity (%time walking, cycling, running). Predictive values for sports injuries and SIBs were determined.
