This descriptive cross-sectional study characterized vertical jump performance and 50-m sprint time among students enrolled in a physical education program. Twenty students (11 men and 9 women; mean age approximately 20 years) were recruited purposively. Following a standardized warm-up, participants completed three Sargent vertical-jump trials and two 50-m sprint trials separated by five minutes; the best performance was retained.
The author-supplied classification placed 11 participants (55%) in the moderate vertical-jump category, six (30%) in the good category, and three (15%) in the low category. For the 50-m sprint, 10 participants (50%) were classified as moderate, six (30%) as good, and four (20%) as low. These distributions describe this small, non-probability sample only.
Interpretation is limited by the absence of reported raw performance statistics, sex-stratified results, and a documented source for the category thresholds. Complete reporting of continuous outcomes and transparent classification criteria is required before the findings can support benchmarking or programming decisions.
