How to convert between different exercises types?

Hello guys, say u wanted to add more hypertrophy exercises instead of strength, or more power exercises instead of muscle endurance. How would u go about calculating that in a routine?

The reason I ask is that I want to make my routine more flexible, right now I'm doing PPL with 5x5 for compound lifts and 3x10 for accessories. I train 4 days a week. Now a lot of times there are specific things I want to do, such as sprinting or bodybuilding but I don't know how to incorporate them into my routine. I don't want to completely change my routine into a sprinter's routine or a bodybuilder's routine but just want to include elements of them into my own routine. Here are some past examples of why I want more flexibility:

  • Friend group challenge to sprint in a few weeks to see who is the fastest
  • Upcoming marathon, want to run it for fun with friend so want to include long runs and maybe interval training
  • Want to go to basketball/football/[insert sport here] game so want to incorporate power exercises such as jumping
  • Want to do one of those jungle obstacle courses so want to improve muscle endurance
  • Summer coming up, want to do more bodybuilding

None of these require radical routine changes unless I'm super serious about them or want to keep doing them as a pro or something. So yeah, if I include jumping, how will it effect my routine. How do I calculate how many reps and sets of deadlift?/squat? to remove in place of jumping? If I do sprints, how much do I need to reduce leg day exercises? Another thing is that I heard that strength and hypertrophy exercises affect the same muscle type but muscle endurance exercises don't. Does that mean I can add tons of muscle endurance exercises with much effect on recovery? At the end of the day, my question boils down to:

How do I convert between, in sets and reps, the following exercise types: strength, hypertrophy, power, muscle endurance, sprints, long runs, etc. and do they even need conversion as in if I add 3x10 jumps or some 300m sprints or 1x25 leg curls, would they effect leg day (they definitely would, right?)?

Edit: Some people are misunderstanding, I'm not looking for a routine that incorporates all exercise types, I want to add and remove extra exercises types temporarily as the need arises like my examples.
