<\/strong>: <\/strong>The study aims to investigate the effect of an adapted badminton initial training model for people with intellectual disabilities in an inclusive sport setting. The experimental group (EG) included a total of 8 athletes: autism (5), Down syndrome (2), and Williams-Beuren syndrome (1); age: 15.5\u202f\u00b1\u202f0.8\u202fyears old, who were trained twice a week for a period of 6 months. The methodology of the study involved the approbation of an instrument from the Special Olympics badminton program to divide the athletes by 6 indicators: Test 1 \u2013 Shuttle Control; Test 2 \u2013 High Serve; Test 3 \u2013 FH\/ BH Net Shot; Test 4 \u2013 FH\/BH Net Lift; Test 5 \u2013 FH Clear; Test 6 \u2013 Rallying and Movement. A descriptive rating scale with 8 components served to control and evaluate the technical-tactical skills. Results showing average values measured at the end of the experiment indicate that the best-learned element is observed in Test 2 \u2013 \u201cHigh Long Service\u201d \u2013 7.25, followed by Test 6 \u2013 \u201cRallying and Movement\u201d \u2013 7.00. Three items fall within the range of scores 6.88 \u2013 6.25 \u2013 6.00, respectively Test 3 \u2013 Test 5 \u2013 Test 4. The weakest improvement was reported for the item, Test 1 \u2013 \u201cShuttle Control\u201d \u2013 4.5, which we attribute to the high coordination complexity and concentration of attention required in performing the motor skill. The improvement of individual technical elements, expressed as a percentage, is in the range 66% \u2013 89.5% for different competitors. The application of the model of initial badminton training in athletes with intellectual disabilities is effective, as indicated by the statistically significant results measured at the end of the experiment. We suspect that under the influence of the applied Methodology, other positive changes related to the development of motor abilities, such as agility, speed and endurance, etc. might be observed.<\/p>\n
