Background: Evaluatingof the correlation between news management components and gender orientation in sport newspapers in Iran was the main purpose of the present research. Method: The research method was content analysis. Statistical population of the research was five Iranian highly published sport newspapers in 2017. The sample (4290 news) was selected using cluster sampling method. Results: The results showed that news about women covered small parts of the newspapers’ pages compared with news regarding men. Conclusions: According to the results of the research, most parts of sport news in the journals focused on athletes, and this focus was in favor of men. In addition, the focus of sport print media was mainly on authorities, coaches and trainers of men’s sports.

Introduction: This research was conducted to determine whether professional athletes with Chronic Ankle Instability (CAI) exhibit differences in maintaining balance under conditions of with and without visual informationMaterials and Methods: Forty-five elite players with CAI were classified into soccer, volleyball, and basketball groups (n=15 each). All participants performed a static single-leg balance test in conditions wherein visual information was provided and withheld. Also, their center of pressure (CoP) oscillation parameters was measured. The data were examined through an analysis of variance (ANOVA) and the Tukey test.Results: A significant difference was found between the soccer and volleyball players (P=0.034) in anteroposterior CoP displacement. Furthermore, there was a significant difference between soccer compared with volleyball (P=0.001) and basketball (P=0.02) groups regarding mediolateral sway and sway area (P=0.003 and P=0.03, respectively) when they performed the test with their eyes open. A significant difference occurred between the soccer and volleyball players concerning anteroposterior and mediolateral sway (P=0.002 and P=0.04, respectively) and sway area (P=0.004) when they performed the test with their eyes closed.Conclusion: Given the necessity of maintaining a good balance in sports, volleyball coaches should design practices that reduce players’ reliance on visual information. These practices should strengthen their proprioceptive abilities through an increased challenge to their proprioceptive senses.
