Training it improves your capacity to use it, but learning to apply strength efficiently is a skill. Strong people can be agile, and it's required for it, but it doesn't come by just training your strength.Note that there's also difference between power, maximal strength, and strength endurance. <a href="https://www.t-nation.com/training/weightlifting-versus-powerlifting" target="_blank">Weightlifters train power (P=E/t), and powerlifters (confusingly named in English) train maximal output but with lower power.</a> Strongmen train both max strength and strength endurance. There are other qualities to strength too, but strength endurance is one of the most important qualities in a prolonged combat.All said, D&D's stats don't represent reality well, and they're just there for convenience of the game.</blockquote>
