Power and strength are two important physical qualities that are often confused with each other. However, there is a key difference between the two.

Strength is the ability to exert maximal force against an external resistance. It is often measured by how much weight you can lift in a single repetition of an exercise.

Power is the ability to produce the greatest amount of force in the shortest amount of time. It is often measured by how high you can jump or how fast you can sprint.
