Haemophilia and sports?

Question

Can anyone send me a table with sports and the risk for haemophiliacs etc

Answer 1

Studies by orthopedists and physical therapists have shown that the child with hemophilia whose joints are supported by well-developed muscles is better able to withstand the trauma of daily living.  Furthermore, children with strong musculoskeletal systems have fewer spontaneous bleeding episodes.  The development of strong muscles can best be accomplished through regular physical exercise, something that should be started early and continued throughout adult life.

The National Hemophilia Foundation has recommended that children with hemophilia participate in sports and recreational activities.  However, each sport activity should be evaluated by assessing the risk benefit ratio for the patient.  For the purpose of evaluation, sports activities have been divided into three categories:

Category 1-- Recommended sports in which most individuals with hemophilia can participate safely.

Category 2--Sports in which the physical, social, and psychological benefits often outweigh the risks.

Category 3—Sports for which the risks  outweigh the benefits.  The nature of these activities make them dangerous even for those without hemophilia

category 1 Golf,Swimming,Bowling,Walking,Running anything that is a light non team related sport .Gymnastics(2)

May be okay for those without musculoskeletal damage.
