Which standards are improved by both Training and Practice?

• A. Endurance and flexibility.
• B. Coordination and agility.
• C. Cardiovascular capacity and balance.
• D. Power and Speed.

Answer: (D)

Power and speed are improved by both training and practice because they hinge on two intertwined aspects: the capacity to generate force quickly and the ability to express that force efficiently in movement. Training builds the physical foundation—strength, rate of force development, and overall power—so your muscles can produce force rapidly. Practice, on the other hand, sharpens neuromuscular timing, technique, and movement efficiency, which means you can apply that force sooner and with less wasted motion. When you combine a robust physical capacity with refined technique, you see faster, more explosive movements—i.e., higher power and greater speed.

Endurance and flexibility improve mainly through training volume and mobility work, while coordination and agility depend heavily on technique and neuromuscular timing but don’t inherently capture the rapid-force expression that power and speed reflect.
