Plyometrics is a type of exercise that involves explosive and powerful movements to increase muscle power and strength. It is commonly used in athletic training, including sprinting. Plyopower and power performance are not commonly used terms in exercise physiology. Strength exercise may involve some contraction of muscles, but it generally refers to slow and controlled movements with heavy weights to increase muscular endurance and hypertrophy, rather than power.
