Explosive strength = the capacity to generate FORCE as QUICKLY (<200ms) as possible. Often quantified as rate of force development (RFD).
Impt bc it's FUNCTIONALLY more relevant than max strength - not just for athletes, but even unexpected perturbations in ADL.

Explosive strength influenced by speed of motor neuron recruitment &discharge rate.
Discharge rate reduced w/ disuse, aging, pathology but has HUGE adaptability to training.
