The accuracy of these perceptual judgements and their relationship to objective performance remain largely unexplored in young dancers.\n                    <jats:bold>Purpose:<\/jats:bold>\n                    To establish teacher-referenced countermovement jump (CMJ) thresholds corresponding to 1-5 ordinal ratings of jump quality in adolescent ballet dancers, and to examine student-teacher agreement patterns across sex and developmental stages.\n                    <jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold>\n                    In a cross-sectional study of 133 vocational ballet students (84 females, 49 males; aged 11-19\u2009years), teachers rated jump quality (1-5 scale) during standardized ballet sequences while students self-rated their abilities. CMJ height was assessed via Optojump. Receiver operating characteristic analysis with Youden\u2019s J optimization derived sex- and age-specific thresholds mapping teacher ratings to CMJ cut-points (cm). Student-teacher agreement was evaluated using quadratically weighted Cohen\u2019s\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">k<\/jats:italic>\n                    , confusion matrices, and McNemar tests. Analyses were stratified by sex and year-group (Y7-9, Y10-11, Y12-14).\n                    <jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Teacher-anchored thresholds increased with age and were higher in males (M Y10-11: 31.5-37.6\u2009cm across rating categories; F Y10-11: 25.6\u2009cm for ratings \u22654). CMJ demonstrated moderate discriminative ability (AUCs 0.41-0.88), indicating meaningful but incomplete correspondence with teacher ratings. Student-teacher agreement was partial (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">\n                      k\n                      <jats:sub>w<\/jats:sub>\n                    <\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009=\u20090.05-0.55), with no directional bias in females but systematic patterns in males: teachers rated older males approximately one category higher than self-ratings (median difference\u2009=\u20091,\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&lt;\u2009.01). DeLong tests confirmed consistent discriminative ability across groups (\n                    <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                    \u2009&gt;\u2009.05). Sensitivity analyses verified robustness to leg-length adjustment, teacher clustering, and outlier exclusion.\n                    <jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold>\n                    Sex- and age-specific CMJ thresholds provide practical benchmarks for calibrating subjective judgements in ballet pedagogy. Moderate AUCs reflect the multi-dimensional nature of jump quality, encompassing aesthetic and technical elements beyond vertical displacement. Systematic student under-rating relative to teacher assessment, particularly among older males, highlights the need for pedagogical strategies supporting realistic self-appraisal alongside technical development.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1089313x261431883","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,26]],"date-time":"2026-03-26T12:41:01Z","timestamp":1774528861000},"page":"716-728","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Teacher and Student Perceptions of Jump Quality: Deriving Objective Thresholds and Examining Rating Agreement in Adolescent Ballet Dancers"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"Raluca-Ioana","family":"Mihaila","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Research and Performance Department, Elmhurst Ballet School, Birmingham, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3580-7878","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna","family":"Schrefl","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Institute of Sport Science, University of Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Scarlett","family":"Brass","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research and Performance Department, Elmhurst Ballet School, Birmingham, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ella","family":"Dennehy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research and Performance Department, Elmhurst Ballet School, Birmingham, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0942-2333","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Matt","family":"Wyon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Sport and Physical Activity, University of Wolverhampton, Walsall, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"George","family":"Metsios","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Physical Education, Sport Science and Dietetics, University of Thessaly, Larissa, Thessaly, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5563-7231","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nico","family":"Kolokythas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Research and Performance Department, Elmhurst Ballet School, Birmingham, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,3,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_3_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/00336297.2008.10483582"},{"key":"e_1_3_3_3_2","volume-title":"Understanding Motor Development: Infants, Children, Adolescents, Adults","author":"Goodway JD","year":"2019","unstructured":"Goodway JD, Ozmun JC, Gallahue DL.
