| Summary: | This article examines the potential of the academic subject “Physical Education” for fostering sustainable physical culture and health-related motivation among adolescents with disabilities. The first part of the article discusses the opportunities offered by person-centered, adaptive, and competency-based approaches that consider the individual physical, medical, and psychoemotional characteristics of the adolescents. The person-centered approach relies on program-individualization, the creation of “success situations,” and reflective practices, which contribute to enhanced self-esteem and intrinsic motivation. The adaptive approach encompasses physical rehabilitation, social integration, psychoemotional correction, and cognitive development, employing methods such as hydrotherapy, Paralympic sports, art therapy, and VR simulators. The competency-based approach aims to develop key competencies in adolescents, including health-preserving, communicative, cognitive, reflective, and socially adaptive skills, thus promoting long-term engagement in physical education. The second part focuses on adapting physical loads and describes various organizational forms of lessons, including individual, group, integrated, and sports sections. Innovative methods are reviewed, including ideomotor training, art-pedagogical techniques, and digital technologies. To reduce anxiety and foster sustained motivation, psychological support through creating a positive atmosphere, providing constructive feedback, and incorporating game elements is proposed. It is posited that the systematic application of these approaches improves attendance, physical performance, and social adaptation among adolescents with disabilities, enhances their quality of life, and facilitates successful social integration. Future research may focus on evaluating the dynamics of the formation of physical culture and health-related motivation in adolescents with disabilities during physical education classes. |
