10×5m Shuttle Run: Males, Age 16
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 16
A score around 19.73 s is typical (50th percentile) for males in this age group. Times below about 18.57 s fall near the 75th percentile or higher, indicating above-average performance (faster is better). Times above about 21.05 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.
