    Regular physical activity of persons with physical disabilities brings physical, health, social, and psychological benefits. The purpose of the research was to determine the effects of spinal cord ... injury on dealing with sport and the inclusion of adults with spinal cord injury in the field of sports in Slovenia. We were interested in differences regarding the level of spinal cord injury, current age, the age when spinal cord injury occurred, the years of disability and gender differences. The study relies on descriptive and causal-nonexperimental methods of empirical pedagogical research. The sample consists of 125 persons with genetic and acquired spinal cord injury aged 19 to 70. The results findings indicate that the frequency of sports engagement increases after spinal cord injury, for example, the recreational sport is reduced after spinal cord injury and the sports engagement at a competitive level is increased. The greatest influences on dealing with sport have the functional capabilities of an individual associated with the level of spinal cord injury. The results of this research suggest that in order to increase the inclusion of persons with physical disabilities in the field of sports in Slovenia, it is necessary to establish a systematic training system for all those related to sports activities, from kindergarten teachers to teachers of classroom education, sports teachers, and trainers of various sports disciplines.
