What type of sport are you training for?
An olympic lifter demonstrates power in his legs, hips and core when he attempts a new record lift (snatch,clean,jerk); A runner demonstrates power in his legs when he's attempting to set a new record in the 100 meter run; A muaythai fighter demonstrates power in his legs and trunk when he slams his 20th thai kick into his opponents legs.
Power training for each of these events will probably share a few things in common:
1. Heavy weights, Low reps to increase your limit strength.
2. Plyometrics to increase your starting-strength and speed-strength.
3. Sport-specific drills (i.e. interval runs for the sprinter, heavybag work for the thaiboxer).
This is my best guess. I'd talk to someone more qualified about the subject, someone whose got a sports med degree or an athletic trainer.
Good luck!
