Speed and power are two characteristics that are essential to success in all sports and are strongly related to one another. Power is the capacity to produce as much force as possible fast to cause a movement. Explosiveness matters because the success of selectively activating the relevant muscles depends on the synchronization and speed of connection between the brain and the rest of the body. 

In modern sports, speed is crucial because the winner is frequently the one who can perform tasks faster than opponents. Since speed also influences power, certain exercises can be devoted to enhancing this component by prioritizing speed above strength and endurance. Through promoting faster and more forceful muscle fiber contractions, this kind of training aids in teaching the brain to react quicker and control muscles more effectively at high speeds.
