Swiss HemActive – Sport Camp

Through the Swiss HemActive sport camps, Programmed Sports Therapy (PST) has been implemented in Switzerland since 2013. The full PST concept and its therapeutic focus have been adopted. As in Germany, two camps are held each year (May/June and October/November) over 3 days in beautiful Magglingen (Macolin), Switzerland, and they are offered simultaneously for German- and French-speaking participants.
With individually tailored sports therapy and training guidance, the camps aim to strengthen the self-management skills of people with haemophilia in the area of physical activity. In addition, they seek to improve joint status, overall physical performance, and thus participants’ quality of life. As with all PST camps, annual assessments are conducted to monitor therapeutic success, including joint status evaluations and questionnaires to assess subjective well-being.

Goals:

• Improve and/or maintain joint status
• Improve overall physical performance
• Enhance strength, coordination, endurance, and flexibility
• Increase self-management skills in Sport & Haemophilia
• Improve quality of life

Target Group:

• Adults (18+) with haemophilia A or B (participants with other coagulation disorders are also welcome)
• Individuals with no, mild, or significant physical limitations
• Inactive individuals, beginners, returners, and physically active people
• Companions are warmly welcome
