Introduction: In the era of information and communication, media and cyberspace are among the most crucial tools for achieving social and cultural objectives, playing a pivotal role in promoting women's sports and health, and shaping new perspectives on these topics. This study aimed to systematically review the impact of cyberspace on women's sports and health and to identify the associated opportunities and challenges. Methods: This systematic review evaluated the role of cyberspace and social media in women’s health and physical activity. A comprehensive search in PubMed and Google Scholar databases was conducted with a time limit of 10 years, from 2015 to the present. This systematic review was conducted based on the reporting preferences for systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Keywords and MeSH terms related to cyberspace, media, social networks, and women's health were used in the search strategy. A total of 8,258 records were identified through database searches, and 11 studies met the eligibility criteria. Results: The findings indicated that social media platforms enhanced motivation, peer support, and access to health information; however, they posed such risks as misinformation and body image pressures. Overall, cyberspace interventions show promising potential, provided that issues of quality control and digital equity are addressed. Out of 8258 identified studies, 11 were included in the analysis. 64% of the articles found were domestic, indicating the importance of this topic within the country. Conclusion: This review showed that cyberspace and social networks generally enhanced women’s health awareness, motivation, and participation in physical activity although risks such as misinformation, body image pressure, and online harassment were also noted. It is recommended that policymakers and health professionals design gender-sensitive digital interventions that promote health literacy while minimizing harms. Future studies should adopt longitudinal and interventional designs to evaluate the sustainability and safety of these approaches, particularly in the context of Iran. | ||
