Communicable and non-communicable diseases place enormous social and economic burdens on developed and developing countries. Health education leading to changes in people's attitudes and behaviours remains the best approach for reducing the problem of communicable diseases while there is evidence that programmes providing regular physical exercise and advocating a controlled diet can reduce the prevalence of many non-communicable diseases. Hence, the delivery of health education and physical activity within a single coherent programme offers great potential for simultaneously addressing both health issues. Since 2006, FIFA has developed and tested a novel football-based health-education programme for children entitled '11 for Health', which is aimed at increasing children's levels of physical activity while also delivering 11 simple health messages. When new interventions of this type are published in the scientific literature, it is often not possible to describe important background information about the project that could assist other researchers in developing and implementing similar programmes. This paper attempts to bridge this gap by describing the aims and objectives, organisation, planning, implementation and monitoring requirements needed to deliver FIFA's '11 for Health' programme, first as a pilot project and subsequently as a nationwide project, through a tripartite arrangement between FIFA, the national Football Association and the Government Ministries in Mauritius.
传染性和非传染性疾病给发达国家和发展中国家带来了巨大的社会和经济负担。健康教育可以促使人们改变态度和行为,从而降低传染病的发病率,而有证据表明,提供定期体育锻炼和提倡健康饮食的项目可以降低许多非传染性疾病的发病率。因此,在一个连贯的方案中提供健康教育和体育活动具有同时解决这两个健康问题的巨大潜力。自 2006 年以来,国际足球联合会(FIFA)为儿童开发并测试了一项新颖的基于足球的健康教育计划,名为“11 为健康”,旨在提高儿童的体育活动水平,同时传递 11 个简单的健康信息。当这种新型干预措施在科学文献中发表时,通常无法描述有关项目的重要背景信息,而这些信息可能有助于其他研究人员开发和实施类似的项目。本文试图通过描述国际足球联合会(FIFA)、国家足球协会和毛里求斯政府部门之间的三方安排,来填补这一空白,该三方安排首次以试点项目的形式,随后以全国性项目的形式,实施 FIFA 的“11 为健康”计划,以实现其目标和目的、组织、规划、实施和监测要求。
