Concentration

Definition A concentration (C) indicates the content of one substance in another as a quotient. By definition, it refers to the amount of a substance present in a given volume. However, concentrations can also refer to masses. In pharmacy, concentration is often used in connection with liquid and semisolid dosage forms. For solid dosage forms … Concentration

Water

Products Water is commercially available in different qualities. Water for pharmaceutical purposes is available in pharmacies, for example, the purified water (see there). It is produced in pharmacies or ordered from specialized suppliers. Structure Pure water (H2O, Mr = 18.015 g/mol) exists as a clear, colorless liquid without odor or taste. It is an inorganic … Water

Volume

Definition Volume is the three-dimensional space occupied by a given amount of matter. According to the SI international system of units, the unit of measurement used is the cubic meter, which is a cube with an edge length of one meter. In practice, however, the liter (L, l) is much more common, especially for liquids. … Volume

Mol (Amount of Substance)

Definition The mole (symbol: mol) is the SI unit of quantity of substance. One mole of a substance contains exactly 6.022 140 76 × 1023 elementary units, for example, atoms, molecules, or ions. This number is called the Avogadro number: 6,022 140 76 × 1023. The Avogadro constant (Avogadro constant) NA, on the other hand, … Mol (Amount of Substance)

Dilutions

Definition Dilution is the process of reducing the concentration of substances and mixtures. Dilutions are commonly used in pharmacy, especially for liquid and semisolid dosage forms, and play an important role in manufacturing. Solid dosage forms such as powders can also be diluted. For an optimal understanding of this topic, we also recommend the articles … Dilutions

Density

Definition We know from everyday life that the same volumes of different substances do not have the same mass. A liter measure full of down is much lighter than a liter measure filled with sugar. Fresh snow is lighter than ice, and ice is slightly lighter than water, although they are all H2O. Density is … Density

Mass

Definition Mass is a physical property of matter. It is one of the basic quantities of the International System of Units (SI). The kilogram (kg) is used as the unit of mass. The mass of an object is equal to the sum of the atomic masses of all the atoms it contains. Kilogram and gram … Mass

BMI: Body Mass Index

A look in the mirror, often this is critical. Am I too fat, too thin or about right? Do I need to lose weight or gain weight? Questions around their own weight are everyday life for many people. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a mathematical formula that can be used to calculate a measurement … BMI: Body Mass Index

Principle of conservation of momentum | The biomechanical principles

Principle of conservation of momentum To explain this principle, we analyze a somersault with stretched and crouched posture. The axis around which the gymnast performs a somersault is called the body width axis. With stretched posture there is a lot of body mass away from this axis of rotation. This slows down the rotational movement … Principle of conservation of momentum | The biomechanical principles

The biomechanical principles

Introduction In general, the term biomechanical principles refers to the exploitation of the mechanical laws for sports performance optimization. It should be noted that the biomechanical principles are not intended to develop technology, but only to improve technology. HOCHMUTH developed six biomechanical principles for the exploitation of mechanical laws for sports stress. Hochmuth developed five … The biomechanical principles

Principle of the optimum acceleration path | The biomechanical principles

Principle of the optimum acceleration path Acceleration is defined as the change in speed per unit of time. It can occur both in positive and negative form. In sports, however, only positive acceleration is important. The acceleration depends on the ratio of force [F] by mass [m]. Consequently: If a higher force acts on a … Principle of the optimum acceleration path | The biomechanical principles
