Campus recreational sport programs strive to create an environment that is accessible to diverse participants, including LGBTQ population groups. While improvement has been made in promoting resources and workgroups related to diversity management practices, little empirical evidence exists as it relates to the efficacy of diversity trainings for recreational sport employees. This study analyzed the impact of a diversity training program geared toward the development of affirming recreational sport practices for LGBTQ populations and exploring the professional competencies related to LGBTQ inclusion that are practiced within in a collegiate recreational sport setting. Results indicated that the targeted training initiative was effective in statistically improving employee confidence as it relates to LGBTQ professional competencies (p < .000), while nonattendance at the training showed no statistically significant differences in such competencies. This study serves as a starting point for investigating the impact of LGBTQ-specific diversity training programs on recreational sport staff members.

校园休闲运动计划努力创造一个环境，供包括LGBTQ人群在内的各种参与者使用。尽管在促进与多样性管理实践有关的资源和工作组方面已取得了进步，但很少有经验证据，因为它与休闲运动雇员的多样性培训的有效性有关。这项研究分析了旨在发展针对LGBTQ人群的休闲体育实践的多样性培训计划的影响，并探索了在大学休闲体育环境中实践的与LGBTQ纳入相关的专业能力。结果表明，针对性培训计划与LGBTQ专业能力有关，可以有效地从统计角度提高员工的信心（p <.000），而在培训中缺勤则没有统计学上的显着差异。这项研究可以作为调查LGBTQ特定多样性培训计划对休闲运动工作人员的影响的起点。
