Physical activity, physical fitness and cardiometabolic risk amongst adults with moderate and severe haemophilia

Aim This study aimed to examine physical activity (PA), physical fitness and cardiometabolic risk amongst people with moderate and severe haemophilia (PwMSH). Methods The following domains were examined: PA (accelerometry); functional aerobic capacity (6‐Minute Walk Test); grip strength (dynamometry); balance (One Leg Stand Test); body composition (anthropometry and bioimpedance analysis); blood pressure; arterial stiffness; and cardiometabolic disorders. Results A total of 53 PwMSH (44 years) and 33 controls (43 years; p = .679) were recruited. Compared to controls, PwMSH were significantly less active in moderate and vigorous PA parameters (all p
