Introduction. Crimea is positioned as a sanatorium and recreational area, which go to rest, treatment and rehabilitation. Every year the number of persons with disabilities wishing to improve their physical and mental health increases. However, programs of adaptive physical culture, tourism and motor recreation are poorly implemented on the Crimean Peninsula. Most health resorts do not have specially designed programs of adaptive physical culture.
At the same time, the rich resource potential of the Crimea and the increasing attention of local authorities to the problem of accessibility and barrier-free health resorts, excursion facilities, sports infrastructure are prerequisites for the development of adaptive physical culture and affordable sports, in particular adaptive motor recreation for persons with DISABILITIES. Thus, the implementation of the basic provisions of the Concept of development of adaptive physical culture and sports in the Republic of Crimea until 2020 [1, p. 216-218], developed by specialists of the Crimean departments, will increase the share of persons with disabilities, systematically engaged in adaptive physical education and sports.
The aim of the study is to monitor the availability of recreational areas of the southern coast of Crimea for persons with musculoskeletal disorders (ODA).
Methodology and organization of the study. Monitoring of the availability of recreational areas of the southern coast of Crimea for persons with disabilities WAS carried out on the basis of an integrated approach to assessing the availability of the environment, which takes into account the specific needs of persons with musculoskeletal disorders, as well as the principle of barrier-free urban infrastructure and sightseeing facilities. The monitoring was attended by 27 health resorts, 7 Palace and Park museums-reserves.
The results of the study and their discussion. Absolutely barrier-free routes, on which young people with disabilities can move without assistance, have not been identified at all. Only 3% of routes are conditionally available. The Alupka Palace and Park Museum‑reserve and Nikitsky Botanical garden became the most accessible and adapted for persons with disabilities.
Summary. The results of this monitoring allowed to reveal the potential of recreational zones in the Republic of Crimea for persons with disabilities (elements of hippotherapy and Dolphin therapy, climatotherapy, aromatherapy and phytotherapy, the path) and to determine the adverse factors that hinder the development of adaptive motor recreation (no adaptive barrier-free routes, failure to comply with the requirements of the program "Accessible environment", the unwillingness of staff to change, the lack of specialists in adaptive physical culture).
