10×5m Shuttle Run: Males, Age 12
The 10×5m Shuttle Run is the Eurofit battery measure of speed and agility. Participants sprint 5 m back and forth 10 times (50 m total), touching the floor at each turnaround line. Data are from Tomkinson et al. (2018), a pooled analysis of 258,618 European children and adolescents from 19 countries aged 9–17 — the largest sample of all Eurofit tests.

What these numbers mean for males aged 12
A score around 21.4 s is typical (50th percentile) for males in this age group. Times below about 20.02 s fall near the 75th percentile or higher, indicating above-average performance (faster is better). Times above about 23 s fall near the 25th percentile; about 75% of the reference population performed faster.
Percentiles show how common a value is, not whether it is healthy.
