The monument is not only a religious symbol but also a center for diverse sports activities. This article explores how sports activities at Kendari Religious Monument affect the physical health, social skills, and work productivity of the community. This research aims to explore the impact of sports activities on human resource development (HRD) in Kendari Religious Monument. Diverse sports activities, such as jogging, gymnastics, yoga, and other sports competitions, not only provide physical health benefits but also contribute to the development of social skills, leadership, and individual productivity. The research method used was qualitative with a case study approach, involving in-depth interviews with participants of sports activities, direct observation, and analysis of related documents. The results showed that participation in sports activities at Monumen Religi significantly improved people's physical health, which had a positive impact on work productivity and quality of life. In addition, sports activities also strengthen social skills such as teamwork, communication, and leadership, especially through participation in team sports and community events. Community empowerment and inclusiveness were also seen to increase, with different walks of life actively engaging in sports activities, creating a more inclusive and harmonious environment. However, the research also uncovered several challenges, including the need for improved infrastructure and adequate sports facilities as well as continued support from the government and private sector. The conclusion of this study confirms that sports activities in Kendari's Religious Monument have great potential in human capital development. Therefore, an integrated strategy is needed to maximize these benefits, including improved facilities and sustainable sports programs. Thus, the Monument can continue to serve as an effective center for human capital development and contribute to the overall well-being of the people of Kendari.
