The word γυμνάσιον (gymnasion) was used in Ancient Greece, meaning a locality for both physical and intellectual education of young men (see gymnasium (ancient Greece)). The later meaning of intellectual education persisted in German and other languages to denote a certain type of school providing secondary education, the Gymnasium, whereas in English the meaning of physical education was pertained in the word gym. The Greek word gymnasium means "place to be naked" and was used in ancient Greece to designate a locality for the education of young men, including physical education (gymnastics, i.e. exercise) which was customarily performed naked, as well as bathing, and studies. For the Greeks, physical education was considered as important as cognitive learning. Most Greek gymnasia had libraries that could be utilized after relaxing in the baths. From Wikipedia under the

From Google News Search: "Gyms" Why do hospitals and gyms still use old-fashioned scales instead of widely avaiable digital scales? Q. I keep noticing that in hospitals, doctor's offices, gyms, etc., the old-school mechanical scales with the sliding weights are still used instead of digital scales, even though they have been around for many years, and it seems like digital scales could measure weight more precisely than the mechanical ones. So why aren't these used more extensively by people in health-related professions? Asked by lsudolemite - Tue May 13 19:25:27 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments A. We do have them--I've seen them. But I suspect it's a combination of what the previous poster said about not wanting to spend money to replace them and the probability of upkeep being more expensive and problematic with the digital ones.

It's also just not that important most of the time to be accurate within an eighth of a pound or a fraction of a kilogram, so precision is often not that big of a deal. Most modern hospital beds, though, DO have digital scales built into them, which are used to figure things like whether a patient is retaining water or losing weight, and to keep up with weights on neonates and such (and these are cases where precision might indeed matter).
