Protocol summary

Summary
This study was aimed to investigate the effects of a short-term resistance training program and pulsed electromagnetic fields) PEMFs( on bone metabolism, balance, joint function, and quality of life in sever hemophilia A with osteoporosis. Forty-three severe haemophilia A with osteoporosis were randomly assigned to resistance training (RT), combined resistance training with PEMFs (RTPEMF), PEMFs, and control groups. The RT and RTPEMF groups performed progressive resistance exercises (50-60% 1RM); in RTPEMF, the lower repetition of exercises was compensated with 30-min exposure to PEMFs. The PEMF group was exposed to 60 min of PEMFs (30 Hz and 40 Gauss).The intervention was performed 3 days weekly for 6 weeks. Bone-specific alkaline phosphatase (BALP), N-terminal telopeptide of type 1 collagen (NTX), joint function, balance, and quality of life were assessed before and after the program. After 6 weeks, joint physical conditions, balance performance and quality of life showed significant improvement in RT and RTPEMF groups. BALP increased significantly in RT and RTPEMF groups. No groups showed significant changes in NTX. The best pain relief occurred in the knee joint of the RT group. Resistance training can increase bone metabolism and improve balance performance, joint physical condition muscle strength, and quality of life in severe haemophilia A with osteoporosis.
