Correct Answer: Option B

While both strength training and power training involve lifting weights, they have different goals.
Strength training emphasizes building muscle mass and endurance, typically using heavier weights with fewer repetitions. Power training, on the other hand, aims to improve the ability to generate force quickly, often using lighter weights with explosive movements.
