While its content and editorial decisions are independent of NIRSA, the Recreational Sports Journal is NIRSA’s scholarly communication outlet and supported by the NIRSA Foundation. Both the organization and journal share a common interest in shaping the future of college recreational sports programs. In response to and reflective of growing diversity on college campuses, that future prioritizes equity, diversity, and inclusion. This study sought to determine the extent that equity, diversity, and inclusion content has appeared in the Recreational Sports Journal during the time period of May, 2005–April, 2019. A retrospective content analysis was conducted on 200 research articles from the journal. To date, equity, diversity, and inclusion has not been addressed in a meaningful way, at least in this forum and during this time period. There is an urgent need for researchers to address this void. The journal is encouraged to assert greater influence in shaping this future.

虽然其内容和编辑决定独立于NIRSA，但《休闲体育杂志》是NIRSA的学术交流平台，并得到NIRSA基金会的支持。该组织和期刊在塑造大学休闲运动计划的未来方面有着共同的兴趣。为了回应并反映大学校园内日益增长的多样性，未来将优先考虑公平，多样性和包容性。这项研究试图确定公平，多样性和包容性内容出现在《休闲体育杂志》上的程度在2005年5月至2019年4月这段时间里，对来自该期刊的200篇研究文章进行了回顾性内容分析。迄今为止，至少在本论坛和这段时间内，公平，多样性和包容性尚未得到有意义的解决。研究人员迫切需要解决这一空白。鼓励该期刊在塑造未来的过程中发挥更大的影响力。
