what is power in skill related fitness

Power is a component of skill-related fitness that refers to a persons ability to transfer energy into force at a rapid pace, also known as explosive body movement. Power combines speed and strength, and it is how fast a person can generate a maximal force. An example of power would be a weightlifter quickly and forcefully lifting a heavy weight overhead or a sprinter accelerating as fast as possible to reach top speed. Power can be improved through activities like doing push-ups or jumping rope.
