Adherence
Strength training protocols for people with haemophilia are frequently under-reported regarding critical safety and efficacy variables, specifically pain threshold, prophylactic factor coverage, intensity, range of motion, and time under tension.
If you have haemophilia and are doing strength training, ensure your protocol clearly specifies pain limits (like a 0-2/10 scale), how your clotting factor treatment aligns with exercise days, and the exact intensity and range of motion. This transparency is crucial for safety and effectiveness, as current practices often omit these details.
The present systematic review clearly shows that prophylactic factor coverage and the pain threshold is under-reported in the prescription of strength training in PWH, along with intensity, full or partial ROM, time under tension, attentional focus modality, therapist experience in PWH and adherence assessment.
Why this rating
Based on a systematic review of 18 clinical trials, providing a robust overview of current reporting standards.
