It pretty much comes down to two things.
-Basic move/strength/etc. (including sprinting/extra effort/whatever) should be able to bring you to a maximum of around 80% of a world record.
-Proper training and mastery with body mechanics should fill in the rest of the 20% to bring you up to the best a person could possibly manage.

Except that different activities require different strength and flexibility. There was a BBC story with a group photo of Olympians from different sports in swimsuits which shows how different a "fast and powerful" body for different sports is. And someone with the right muscles who has not practiced coordinating their muscles and tendons for a particular activity will not be able to apply their strength effectively. Skill can represent both of these, although it might also unlock perks similar to Strongbow for a particular feat.
