More Efficient: This exercise is measured by counting rounds of the exercise completed in a given time, usually 20 minutes. It expresses the ability to do more work in a given amount of time, and is a balance of strength and speed. The goal for next time is to be able to do more work in the same amount of time. Most associated with gymnastics and calisthenics.
More Strength: This exercise is measured by recording the amount of weight moved. The goal for next time is to move more weight, safely and with excellent form. The addition of weight is a slow process; quick additions create injury. Olympic powerlifters generally have the most strength.
More Speed: This exercise is measured in time. Although similar to "More Efficient," the idea is to do the same work faster than before. This includes running but also weightlifting a set number of reps, faster and faster.
Other: The "named" workouts (Helen, Filthy Fifty, etc.) are benchmark workouts. They are useful to see how you have improved since last time.
