Adolescents with blood diseases should be encouraged to participate in exercise. Physical activity helps to build stronger muscles, to give better support to the joints, and to improve the patient's overall health and fitness. It also improves emotional well being by improving self-esteem and providing social interaction. Sports and exercise in sickle cell anemia and sickle cell trait need special consideration. Young athletes with sickle cell disease are at high risk of dehydration, heat-related injury, exhaustion, painful episodes, and hip joint problems. Gradual acclimatization to heat, humidity and high altitude, slow conditioning over weeks and avoidance of dehydration are recommended for all adolescents with sickle cell disease to make their sport activity safe. Effort should be made to educate those with sickle cell disease that their condition is not a handicap and that they are fit to lead a normal life.
应鼓励患有血液疾病的青少年参加体育锻炼。体育活动有助于锻炼更强壮的肌肉，更好地支撑关节，并改善患者的整体健康状况和身体素质。它还通过提高自尊和提供社交互动来改善情绪健康。镰状细胞贫血和镰状细胞性状患者的运动和锻炼需要特别考虑。患有镰状细胞病的年轻运动员面临脱水、热相关损伤、疲劳、疼痛发作和髋关节问题的高风险。建议所有患有镰状细胞病的青少年逐渐适应炎热、潮湿和高海拔环境，在数周内缓慢进行身体调节并避免脱水，以确保他们的体育活动安全。应努力教育患有镰状细胞病的人，让他们知道自己的病情并非残疾，并且适合过正常生活。
