This study evaluates the impact of the "11 For Health" program-an innovative football-based health education initiative-on children's physical fitness, health status, health knowledge, and pro-health behaviors. Originally implemented in African and South American countries, the program has been adapted and successfully introduced in European and Asian countries. The intervention consists of structured football sessions integrating health education messages aimed at promoting a healthy lifestyle among schoolchildren. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of this program in enhancing both physical fitness and health-related outcomes in comparison to traditional physical education classes
