Search Results - Pound (mass)

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

The pound or pound-mass (abbreviation lb, lbm, or sometimes in the United States _[citation needed]) is a unit of mass used in the imperial, United States customary and other systems of measurement. A number of different definitions have been used, the most common today being the international avoirdupois pound of exactly 0.45359237&_160;kilogram.

The word pound comes from the Latin word pondus meaning "weight".[1] The abbreviation lb comes from the Latin word libra, meaning "scales, balances",[1] which also described a Roman unit similar to the pound (note that the commonly used lbs abbreviation for the plural unit of measurement is incorrect, as lb is both the singular and plural abbreviation). Usage of the unqualified term pound reflects the historical conflation of mass and weight resulting from the near uniformity of gravity on Earth. This accounts for the modern distinguishing terms pound-mass and pound-force.

Historically, in different parts of the world, at different points in time, and for different applications, the pound (or its translation) has referred to broadly similar but not identical standards of mass or weight.

A number of different definitions of the pound have been used in Britain. Amongst these are the avoirdupois pound and the obsolete tower, merchant's and London pounds.[2] The weight of precious metals when given in pounds and/or ounces usually assumes Troy pounds and ounces; these units are not otherwise used today.

2. Suggested use for Resveratrol
August 03, 2009

There have been many studies conducted in order to investigate the right dosage of Resveratrol for humans. In the animal studies that were conducted, larger doses proved to be greater. In human clinical trials, high dosages have had few, if any, side effects, and no toxicity, even at the highest dosages (5,000 mg). One way to determine the best Resveratrol dosage for humans is from animal studies. This is how the same way the pharmaceutical companies conduct their early trials. There are many factors including body mass (mg/pound), metabolism of the animal/human, etc. In human studies, the fi... (read more)

4. Exercise Routine - How Long Does it Take For Muscle to Grow?
July 09, 2009

This question really depends on what type of workout program you are on, what your diet is like, and how much rest are you getting. I am going to assume that you are going the natural route without expensive supplements and steroids. I am a hardgainer who used to struggle to gain even a pound on my 5'7" 135 lb. frame. How long does it take for muscle to grow? The most important factor is your diet. I used to think I was eating a lot, but with my extremely fast metabolism, I was not eating enough! My own personal weight gainer is by eating a lot of plain oatmeal. I simply blend it wit... (read more)

5. Four Different Weight-Loss Mechanisms in Just One Pill
June 30, 2009

Why is it that things like car keys, your favorite pair of sunglasses and the TV remote seem to disappear on a daily basis, but trying to lose ten pounds is next to impossible? Weight loss is difficult for most people because in order to lose one pound of fat, your body needs to burn 3,500 calories. You would have to walk about 35 miles or cut out about 5 meals to burn that off! Simply eliminating these calories from your diet all at once with unhealthy “crash diets” often slows down metabolism. This can actually drastically reduce your basal metabolic rate (BMR) and the amount of overall cal... (read more)

6. Why We Need Muscle Mass to Lose Fat & Best Reasons to Weight Train.
June 22, 2009

Why Weight Training? One of the biggest mistakes when trying to lose weight is omitting weight training from your work-out regimen. Weightlifting is an exercise that uses resistance to strengthen the musculoskeletal system. Cardiovascular exercise and low-fat eating alone is not an effective way to lose fat because it often results in muscle loss. Research indicates we lose about one-half pound of muscle every year of our lives after age 30 unless we incorporate a safe and regular strength training workout into our routine. Our overall physical well being can be improved by muscle g... (read more)
