Muscular endurance is known as dynamic strength and is tested through the sit-up bleep test.
Cardiovascular endurance is the ability of the heart and lungs to provide oxygen to working muscles for a long time.
Speed is the ability to perform an action or cover a set distance as quickly as possible.
Power is also known as explosive strength or anaerobic power.

Speed is just about running fast.

An example of speed is moving quickly across the ground but also includes other body parts too such as the speed of arms in table tennis.

Cardiovascular endurance - the ability of the heart and lungs to supply oxygen to working muscles (also known as aerobic power)
Muscular endurance - the ability of a muscle, or muscle group, to undergo repeated contractions, avoiding fatigue and the ability of muscles to contract over a period of time
Power - product of strength and speed (explosive strength/anaerobic power)
Speed - the maximum rate at which an individual is able to perform a movement or cover a distance in a period of time
