Why haemophilia doesn't stop kids playing sport Haemophilia is an inherited condition in which the blood doesn't clot. Like everybody else, it is important for people affected by the condition to have a healthy balanced diet, and take regular exercise. Sport is particularly important for people with haemophilia, as some types of exercise can help keep joints strong and muscles flexible. Strong healthy joints reduce the risks of bleeds within joint tissue, which could damage the joints, and increase the chance of developing arthritis.
