There are more and more studies concerning the importance of physical activity in population with various disabilities. This research concentrates on a persons with disability who use wheelchair in everyday life. The complete sample consisted of 230 subjects (25.22% females and 74.78% males). The mean age of subjects was 44.6 years. The subjects were included through method of random choice. The data was gathered using the questionarre which was distributed among persons with disability. The statistical methods used were ANOVA. The level of physical activity decreases after the onset of physical disability. Persons who engaged in sports intensely before disability will more frequently resume this practice. The most common reason for withdrawal from the sports is restrictive features of disability. In female population, a decrease of physical activity after the disability was shown, and also proven to be statistically significant.
