      abstract = {Children with hemophilia (CwH) are advised to take special  precautions when engaging in physical activity due to the  risk of bleeding from an injury. The obesity epidemic we  currently face in the general population is evident in CwH  as well. Research suggests those with a body mass index  (BMI) in the overweight and obese ranges have an increased  risk of experiencing joint mobility limitations. For this  research project, we hypothesize that the majority of CwH  will have more fat mass and lower lean body mass compared  to age-, sex-, and BMI-matched unaffected control children.  Furthermore, we hypothesize that those CwH who engage in  regular physical activity and have a higher lean body mass  composition will have better health outcomes.},
