Summary

Background: Improved treatment options for people with haemophilia (PWH) have increased the possibilities for sports participation, but the risk of sports-induced bleeding (SIB) is still considered considerable by many. Aim: To assess sports associated injury-and bleeding risk in PW Hand to assess clotting levels associated with safe sports participation. Methods: Sports injuries and SIBs were prospectively collected for12 months in PWH aged 6–49 without inhibitors playing sports at least once weekly. Injuries were com pared according to factor levels, severity, joint health, sports risk category and sports intensity. Factor activity at the time of injury was estimated using a pharmacokinetic model
