The basic method of gathering research material was diagnostic survey, in which the author’s questionnaire was used. The study was conducted in 2010. The material presented relates to the research group, made up of 800 people with disabilities living in rural areas of the Lublin province. It turned out that disabled people have 5–6 hours of leisure time a day, with women having more free time on weekdays, and men having more free time on holidays. Among the active forms of leisure both men and women prefer walking and practicing various forms of sport and recreation. Passive rest in both groups means listening to music, watching TV and using the computer and the Internet. Sports and recreation forms popular among both men and women include walking, cycling and gymnastics.
