All participants reported sports participation, including 59.2% in high-risk sports. Dutch PWH treated with intermediate-dose prophylaxis showed an age-related decline in sports participation, joint status and physical functioning, whereas Swedish PWH on high-dose prophylaxis did not. Sports participation was not associated with bleeding.
