Abstract
The value of sport in the rehabilitation of persons with physical disabilities has been changing over the years. Initially, sport played a role mainly in functional improvement of persons with musculoskeletal disorders. Then, a competitive sport for persons with disabilities has developed, including the Paralympic one in which the most outstanding athletes with physical disabilities in the world can compete with each other. Competitive sport, by formal (sports associations, event calendar, game rules, etc.), is now the most fully formed form of physical activity performed by persons with physical disabilities. The development of specialized sports equipment has also enabled the development of sport in the form of recreation, so that more and more people with disabilities can actively spend their free time, both in summer and winter. Today, all these forms of sport for persons with disabilities develop in the movement known as adapted physical activity, which has grown on the basis of centuries of tradition and experience with the use of movement as a means to support and improve human development. In the paper, an attempt was made to provide characterization and systematization of the above-mentioned issues in relation to national rehabilitation conditions and sport for persons with physical disabilities.
