    Physical activity contributes to maintaining good health. The priority in striving for the proper quality of life of people with special needs is to provide this population with opportunities to participate in sports activities and with access to special devices. The aim of the research was to learn about the limitations and barriers to physical activity among people with disabilities regarding places to engage in physical activity, to determine the needs and capabilities of these people in relation to places to engage in physical activity, and present proposals for innovative exercise equipment. Material and methods. The research material consisted of data obtained from 26 people with physical disabilities. The diagnostic survey method and survey technique were used, and the tool was a self-made questionnaire. Results. The proposed devices enable people to engage in physical activity. The devices are intended for exercising upper muscle groups and are adapted for people with disabilities. They are used in medical rehabilitation. As a result of the greater dynamics of exercise, the resistance increases. To make it easier for the users, the device manual contains boards with pictograms, interactive boards with instructional videos, and an audio board. Conclusions. There is a great demand for the development of sports and recreational infrastructure while maintaining all aspects of respect for people with disabilities. The versatility of outdoor exercise equipment allows you to create perfect places for integration and social bonding. Healthy lifestyle programs can reduce barriers to participation as well as increase physical activity, improve healthy lifestyle habits, and facilitate social integration.
