Its originality lies in its integration of soccer practice with specific tests. The aim of this article is to present the "11 to Perf" evaluation method. : A prospective cohort study was conducted at the Centre National du Football (FIFA center) in Clairefontaine, including professional footballers who have undergone anterior cruciate ligament surgery and rehabilitation. Tests include clinical assessments, jumping, agility, psychological and isokinetic tests and match simulation. : The "11 to Perf" is a composite test designed to assess the return to sport of professional footballers after ACL reconstruction.
