Introduction: In the era of information and communication, media and cyberspace areamong the most crucial tools for achieving social and cultural objectives, playing a pivotalrole 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 andhealth and to identify the associated opportunities and challenges.Methods: This systematic review evaluated the role of cyberspace and social media inwomen’s health and physical activity. A comprehensive search of the PubMed and GoogleScholar databases was conducted, with a time limit of 10 years from 2015 to the present. Thissystematic review was conducted based on the reporting preferences for systematic reviewsand meta-analyses. Keywords and MeSH terms related to cyberspace, media, social networks,and women’s health were used in the search strategy.Results: A total of 8,258 records were identified through database searches, and 11 studiesmet the eligibility criteria. The findings indicated that social media platforms enhancedmotivation, peer support, and access to health information; however, they also posed risks,such as misinformation and pressure to conform to body image ideals. Overall, cyberspaceinterventions show promising potential, provided that issues of quality control and digitalequity are addressed. Out of 8258 identified studies, 11 were included in the analysis. 64% ofthe articles found were domestic, indicating the importance of this topic within the country.Conclusion: This review showed that cyberspace and social networks generally enhancedwomen’s health awareness, motivation, and participation in physical activity, though riskssuch as misinformation, pressure to maintain a positive body image, and online harassmentwere also noted. It is recommended that policymakers and health professionals design gendersensitivedigital interventions that promote health literacy while minimizing harms. Futurestudies should adopt longitudinal and interventional designs to evaluate the sustainabilityand safety of these approaches, particularly in Iran.
