For a constant glideslope, visual or instrument, if you are above it you reduce power then lower the nose to retain airspeed, if you are below it, you add power and raise the nose to maintain airspeed and regain the slope. that seems to add up to power for rate of descent, attitude for airspeed. Power plus attitude equals performance.
