Sir, what i can make out is .. to give your best in the physical test you overstressed your ligaments . Which now os causing problem as pain on the side of knee doing sprint for long, high jumps lead to excessive stress on ligaments and muscles
Next Steps
What i will suggest to you is first and foremost apply ice packs to knee joint so that the pain and swelling subsides which will give time to repair ligament and do apply some topical cream such as volini or relispray etc...
give some rest to your knee proceed with strengthening exercise for quadriceps muscle group. And post that icing again
Health Tips
Dont over exert yourself. Use proper footwear so as to reduce pressure on knee and do not apply heat / hotpack as that can elevate the can and swelling
