Adapted physical activity is part of physical activity in the modern world. It is therefore necessary to pay special attention to the physical condition of young people with disabilities and to increase the possibilities for the prevention and correction of already existing anomalies. This can be successfully accomplished through sport and in particular through the means of basketball. The subject of the study is basketball for people with intellectual disabilities. The object of the study are the signs of the specific preparedness of people with disabilities and the impact on them through the means of adapted basketball. The purpose of the experiment is to determine the impact of adapted basketball on people with mental disabilities. The attached experiment shows that one school year is not enough to cause significant positive changes in the level of traits studied in young people with intellectual disabilities.
