PowerPower is the rate of work performed. It measures how much energy is created in each second that passes, the size of the force applied, and the velocity at which it is applied. Power {(Force × Distance) ÷ Time} represents the product of strength and speed of movement expressed in Watts, where Force is measured in Newtons (1kg=10N), the Distance in metres and Time in seconds.
ExampleAn 80 kg athlete can run up a set of stairs with a vertical height of 3 metres in 1.5 seconds.
Anaerobic PowerAnaerobic power is the ability to produce energy by the ATP-PC energy system and can be assessed with the Running-based Anaerobic Sprint Test (RAST). Fry (2014)[1] found that the Kansas squat test provides a reliable indicator of short-term anaerobic power. Aerobic PowerAerobic power depends on the muscular tissues' chemical ability to use oxygen in breaking down fuels and the combined capability of the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems to transport oxygen to the muscular tissues.
