Improving the quality of life of individuals with mental retardation and developmental disabilities is of great importance for public health and individual well-being. In this context, physical activity is a critical tool in improving individuals' physical health, improving their social interaction skills, and supporting their emotional characteristics. While the developing literature provides important findings to understand the effects of physical activity, it also emphasizes the need for comprehensive evaluations in this field. Regular physical activity improves physical health, strengthens social skills, and promotes emotional well-being in individuals with disabilities. However, it has also been reported that these activities contribute to physical fitness increased self-esteem, emotional regulation, and social participation. Such benefits are seen to have positive reflections on both the individual and social lives of individuals. In this study, the effects of physical activity in individuals with mental retardation and developmental disabilities were discussed comprehensively. The literature shows that physical activity improves physical health indicators and significantly contributes to the individual's social, emotional, and psychological well-being. In addition to supporting musculoskeletal functions, physical activity positively affects cardiovascular health, motor skill development, and weight management. In addition, it has been stated that it increases individuals' self-esteem, reduces negative emotional states such as stress and anxiety, improves social interactions, and facilitates their integration into society. The research was conducted using the traditional review method, and the effects and importance of physical activity in mental retardation and developmental disability were revealed through literature research. As a result of the study, it is revealed that physical activity alleviates the emotional difficulties of individuals, improves their social skills, and improves their quality of life. The literature points out that physical activity programs should be adapted to the individual needs of individuals. The study emphasizes that physical activity is a multifaceted tool that improves the social cohesion and general well-being of individuals with mental retardation and developmental disabilities and the importance of developing more comprehensive and accessible programs to ensure the sustainability of this effect.
