Many strength and conditioning papers have incorrectly adopted the colloquial use of the term "power" as a measure of short-term, high-intensity muscular performance despite a long history of research and editorials critical of this practice. This has lead to confusion, incorrect interpretations, and conflicting results in the literature. This paper summarizes the scientific evidence on external mechanical power as a short-term, high-intensity neuromuscular (anaerobic) performance or training variable. Many problems in the measurement and use of power in strength and conditioning research were identified, as well as problems in the use of the vertical jump as a field test of power. A critical review of the biomechanics, measurement, and training research does not support this colloquial use of the term "power." More research is needed that improves our understanding of the domains of muscular strength or neuromuscular performance, as well as partial correlation and multiple regression analyses to document the unique associations between these domains, biomechanical variables, training effects, and sport performance. Strength and conditioning research should limit the use of the term power to the true mechanical definition and provide several specific and measurement details on this measurement.
尽管长期以来有研究和社论批评这种做法，但许多力量与体能训练方面的论文仍错误地采用了“功率”一词的通俗用法，将其作为短期高强度肌肉表现的衡量指标。这导致了文献中的混淆、错误解读以及相互矛盾的结果。本文总结了关于外部机械功率作为短期高强度神经肌肉（无氧）表现或训练变量的科学证据。指出了力量与体能训练研究中功率测量和使用方面的诸多问题，以及将垂直纵跳用作功率现场测试的问题。对生物力学、测量和训练研究的批判性综述并不支持“功率”一词的这种通俗用法。需要开展更多研究，以增进我们对肌肉力量或神经肌肉表现领域的理解，以及进行偏相关和多元回归分析，以记录这些领域、生物力学变量、训练效果和运动表现之间的独特关联。力量与体能训练研究应将“功率”一词的使用限制在真正的机械定义范围内，并提供关于该测量的若干具体测量细节。
