Physical activity has been systematically studied as a preventive factor in the involvement of chronic-degenerative pathologies, especially metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular diseases. Sedentary lifestyle is related to the decrease or absence of minimum parameters of daily physical demand in addition to the resting state, which is strongly associated with a reduction in the health condition of individuals with physical-motor disabilities. The body's metabolic responses due to the absence of a specific musculature, or its inactivity due to the lack of stimuli, leads to significant differences in the structuring of body composition. Studies that address people with special needs are a challenge for researchers, especially when referring to physical-motor disabilities, since the needs are varied, which makes it difficult to make a meaningful sample that makes adequate inferences feasible. This research had as object of study the regular physical exercise and the health condition of individuals with physical and motor disabilities, through the determination of the anthropometric and biochemical blood profile, and also the determination of the prevalence of risk factors for metabolic syndrome. Twenty-seven individuals with spinal cord injuries, sequelae of polio and with amputation, were divided into wheelchair basketball players (JBC) and non-wheelchair basketball players (NJBC). The JBC showed lower waist circumference compared to the NJBC, 76.40 ± 8.44 and 89.25 ± 9.73 cm respectively (p <0.05). SBP was significantly higher in NJBC 123.33 ± 13.70 and 114.00 ± 9.85 mmHg for JBC (p <0.05), with no difference for DBP. NJBC showed higher values ​​than JBC for blood biochemistry of glycemia, TG, total cholesterol and fractions, except for HDL-C (p <0.05). NJBC individuals had a high prevalence of risk factors for metabolic syndrome, with arterial hypertension prevalent in 58.33% of individuals, HDL-C dyslipidemia present in 50% and waist circumference above normal in 41.66%. The findings of the present study corroborate other evidences described in the literature about the high prevalence of risk factors for metabolic syndrome among individuals with physical-motor injuries who have a low level of regular physical activity. The evidence raised suggests an important role for regular physical exercise as an adequate measure for the prevention of metabolic syndrome.
