Abstrakt/ Abstract: The article deals with the importance of movement in the education of pupils with intellectual disabilities. There is now a growing body of research that emphasizes the positive impact of physical activities on the physical, mental, and social aspects of the lives of individuals with intellectual disabilities. This article evaluates the importance of including diverse forms of exercise in educational programs for this group of learners. Research has shown that comprehensive and adapted exercise programs have the potential to significantly improve the functional abilities, psychological well-being, and social integration of students with intellectual disabilities. This article highlights the need to provide physical education teachers and coaches with specific guidelines that reflect the latest scientific findings and assist in the effective planning and implementation of exercise programs for this specific population. In the final recommendations, the article highlights the necessity of integrating physical activities into the educational environment for students with intellectual disabilities as a key factor in promoting their overall development and quality of life.
