Background
The aim of this paper is to examine whether there are differences in physical self-concept between people with physical disabilities who underwent a 12-week experimental treatment of the inclusive Baskin game and subjects of the control group who continued with their daily activities.

Material and methods
The "Physical Self-Description Questionnaire" (PSDQ) was applied, which contains 11 subscales, 9 scales for specific components of physical self-concept, and two general scales.

Results
The results of the t-test of dependent samples showed a statistically significant difference in favor of the subjects of the experimental group between the two measurements in the appearance variable (p=0.02), while the results of the Mann-Whitney test indicated a statistically significant increase in the value of the esteem variable at the final measurement (p=0.04). The effect of changes was the largest in the esteem variable (Z=-2.02). The obtained results indicate that participation in the inclusive Baskin game can have a positive impact on certain aspects of physical self-description in individuals with physical disabilities, particularly in terms of appearance and esteem.

Conclusions
This suggests the potential benefits of adapted sports games, emphasizing the need for their implementation in inclusive sports initiatives.
