Hemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder characterized by a lack of blood factors necessary for clotting. This review aims to investigate the benefits of sports activities in children with hemophilia in terms of both physical and psychological wellness. Sports activity is necessary for children with hemophilia to preserve joints' range of motion, reduce joint bleeding, improve muscle mass and strength, enhance proprioception and prevent secondary chronic diseases. In the past, high-impact sports were usually forbidden in children with hemophilia because of their high bleeding risk. Recent studies, however, have shown that prophylaxis therapy can allow a hemophilic child to take part in vigorous activities or high-impact sports. The benefits of sports activity in children with hemophilia are expressed by a better muscular trophism and an improved bone mineral density. Moreover, physical activity has a positive impact on children's psychosocial well-being. Due to prophylaxis therapy, the quality of life of children with hemophilia is similar to their peers, and this has allowed an improvement in sports participation, including team sports.
血友病是一种X连锁隐性疾病，其特征是缺乏凝血所需的血液因子。本综述旨在探讨体育活动对血友病儿童身心健康的益处。体育活动对于血友病儿童保持关节活动范围、减少关节出血、增加肌肉量和力量、增强本体感觉以及预防继发性慢性病是必要的。过去，由于出血风险高，血友病儿童通常被禁止进行高强度运动。然而，最近的研究表明，预防性治疗可以让血友病儿童参与剧烈活动或高强度运动。体育活动对血友病儿童的益处表现为更好的肌肉营养状态和改善的骨密度。此外，体育活动对儿童的心理社会幸福感有积极影响。由于预防性治疗，血友病儿童的生活质量与同龄人相似，这使得包括团队运动在内的体育参与有所改善。
