Standing Broad Jump: Males, Age 9
Standing broad jump (also called standing long jump) measures lower-body explosive power, the ability to generate horizontal force from a stationary position. It is one of the nine Eurofit battery tests and appears in the ALPHA fitness test battery, school PE assessments, and tactical/military screening worldwide. Norms on this page are drawn from the FitBack network study (Tomkinson et al. 2023), a 2023 update covering 1.35 million performances from 34 European countries with population-weighted percentile tables in children and adolescents aged 6 to 18. Adult standing broad jump studies exist in the literature (e.g. Brazilian police officers, the Adult-Fit project), but none meet our standard for general-population normative data with narrow age brackets. We therefore present youth norms only and will add adult pages when a suitable population-based dataset becomes available.

Percentile Distribution (cm)
| Percentile | Value (cm) | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| 5th | 94.7 | Poor |
| 25th | 114.4 | Below average |
| 50th | 133.4 | Average |

What these numbers mean for males aged 9
A score around 133.4 cm is typical (50th percentile) for males in this age group. Scores above about 152 cm fall near the 75th percentile or higher, indicating above-average performance. Scores below about 114.4 cm fall near the 25th percentile, about 75% of the reference population scored higher.
Percentiles show how common a value is, not whether it is healthy.
