Introduction. The development of hemophilic arthropathy causes degenerative joint damage that leads to functional impairment, limiting physical activity and causing disability in patients with hemophilia. Objectives. i) To assess the level of physical activity in patients with hemophilia; ii) To identify the best predictive model for physical activity in adult patients with hemophilic arthropathy. Material and method. Multicenter cross-sectional cohort study. Eighty-eight patients will be recruited. The dependent variable will be physical activity (International Physical Activity Questionnaire). Secondary variables will be kinesiophobia (Tampa Kinesiophobia Scale), functionality (Functional Independence Scale in Hemophilia), pain intensity, and clinical, anthropometric, and sociodemographic variables.
