Power describes your ability to produce as much force in as little time as possible. Often measured by the rate of force development. Power is the rate at which work is done, or in equation form, for the average power P for work W done over a time t, P = W/t. The SI unit for power is the watt (W), where 1 W = 1 J/s.
