Welcome
On this website, we aim to give you an overview of the Haemophilia & Exercise Project and to inform you about its various events and research studies, as well as the latest scientific publications.
The Haemophilia & Exercise Project (HEP) includes the development and ongoing implementation of Programmed Sports Therapy (PST). PST is a specialised form of exercise therapy that is optimally tailored to the needs and complications associated with haemophilia, with the goal of sustainably improving the physical condition of affected individuals.
Over time, the PST concept has been further refined so that it can be individually adapted to other medical conditions as well, making it a unique form of exercise therapy specifically suited to the field of rare diseases.
Classification of haemophilia severity according to the residual activity of the respective coagulation factor.
Schweregrad | Blutungsereignisse | Faktor VIII- bzw. Faktor IX-Restaktivität (%) |
Severe haemophilia | Spontaneous bleeding in joints and muscles | under 1% |
Moderate haemophilia | Moderately frequent spontaneous bleeds; severe bleeding after minor surgical procedures | 1 bis 5 % |
Mild haemophilia | Rare spontaneous bleeds; bleeding after surgical procedures | 5 bis unter 15 % |
