Summary

The goal of this study was to evaluate whether the school-based "11 for Health" program could improve physical performance and executive function among 10-11-year-old Turkish schoolchildren. The main questions it aimed to answer were:

Does the program enhance physical performance, including agility, balance, and vertical jump? Does it improve executive function skills such as response inhibition, problem solving, and working memory? Researchers compared students who participated in the 11-week "11 for Health" intervention to those who continued their regular school curriculum.

Participants:

A total of 56 children (28 girls and 28 boys) from 5th grade participated. The training group attended two 45-minute "11 for Health" sessions per week for 11 weeks.

Both groups were assessed before and after the intervention on physical performance (e.g., balance, agility, countermovement jump) and executive function (Go/No-Go, Tower of Hanoi, and Corsi Block tests).

"11 for Health" training group

The "11 for Health" intervention consisted of two 45-minute sessions per week for 11 weeks, implemented during school hours. Each week included one session focused on football-related physical activities (e.g., passing, dribbling, shooting) and another on health education topics (e.g., hygiene, nutrition, mental well-being), both delivered in an engaging and inclusive format. The program emphasized social interaction, autonomy-supportive teaching, and real-life applicability through take-home tasks.
