People are different. In any society, there have been, are and will be a separate group, group of people with disabilities, more or less visible and / or accepted by others over time. At least 10% of the world's population has a disability. The last decades of the twentieth century and the beginning of the 21st century have brought considerable improvements in the quality of life of people with disabilities, access to and opportunities for education, rehabilitation programs, as well as types of activities, including physical and sporting activities, facilitating social inclusion, but also gaining performance in different human areas by them. We aim to present a review of the benefits of physical activities on improving the quality of life of people with disabilities, as reflected in scientific literature. The analysis aims to highlight these influences in several directions: physical health, psychosocial development, socio-professional integration and inclusion, accessibility and acceptance of this disadvantaged / vulnerable group. Adapted physical activities can be a key component in educational policies adopted and implemented at international level and, unfortunately, less at national level.
