Difference between Strength Training and Power Training?

Strength Training involves controllable/medium load level. Whist involves slow twitching muscles mostly also activates fast twitching muscles to some limit. This not only increases endurance also increases strength/power to some level and supports muscular hypertrophy. 


Power Training on the other hand involves heavy load level. Whist involves fast twitching muscles does not activates slow twitching muscles at all. This will only increase power and supports muscular hypertrophy. 


The difference between hypertrophy achieved with medium and heavy load training is significant. Due to high endurance level there is significant glycogen reserve depletion in muscle cells with medium load training. This will increase clean or lean muscle mass with very low fat percentage. This phenomenon seems to be opposite with heavy load training. 


So medium weight trainers have high level of endurance, agility, fluency and perfection which ensures their greater functionality. On the other hand, heavy weight trainers have low level of endurance, low agility, low perfection and low functionality. They have greater power haphazardly than medium weight trainers but lack efficacy. Medium weight trainers are more lean and are more doable to any kind or sort of work with better efficacy.
