Abstract. Relevance of the research topic. Before the full-scale armed aggression against our state, Ukraine had approximately 2 million 726 thousand people with disabilities. Today, their number has increased to almost 6 million. Unfortunately, this negative trend continues to grow. A significant number of people with disabilities are war veterans who participated in combat operations. Engaging in physical and sports rehabilitation using exercise equipment and inventory impacts the effective and complete restoration of the functioning of various body systems of people with disabilities and the improvement of their overall health. The aim of the research is to analyze special scientific and methodological literature and the advanced practical experience of specialists regarding the use of exercise equipment and inventory for war veterans with disabilities. Methods: analysis of special scientific and methodological literature, theoretical and practical experience of specialists in this specialization, and pedagogical observation. Results. The article presents data from special scientific and methodological literature regarding the use of specialized exercise equipment and inventory in the field of physical and sports rehabilitation for war veterans with varying degrees of disability. According to literary sources, the types of disabilities and their classification among war veterans who participated in combat operations are established. The theoretical and practical experience of fitness trainers and gym instructors in the process of wellness-oriented occupation for war veterans with disabilities is determined. The individual characteristics of the use of exercise equipment and inventory, as well as the specifics of its use for war veterans with disabilities to improve the functioning of the musculoskeletal system and improve overall health, are revealed. Conclusions. The presented means of physical and sports rehabilitation using exercise equipment and inventory for war veterans with disabilities must take into account all individual health characteristics and other features of the functioning of the musculoskeletal system. The proposed physical exercises that can be used by war veterans with disabilities are aimed at their social integration and adaptation to the external environment. They affect the improvement of the development of physical qualities, the maximum preservation of motor skills and abilities, and the maintenance of the optimal level of functioning of all organs and systems of the body of war veterans with disabilities.
