Did the Power Coins give the MMPR Rangers super strength?

[Decepticon]

We see how it happens in the new movie. It got me thinking that maybe it happened in season 1 too. It seems like the Rangers couldn't handle the putties at all. But after they morphed they were able to easily handle the putties in future un-morphed fights . Even though the originals had martial arts training, they still shouldn't have been able to adapt to the putties so fast. Even Billy was able to fight them. I don't think they got the same level lf super strength as the movie team...But there strength was greatly enchanced from that lf averave teenage humans.
