Sensation and Sensory Receptors

Simply put, sensations are basic experiences related, from a physiological point of view, to the activity of sensory receptors that allow us to experience or capture stimuli from both the external and internal environment (Goldstein, 1988).

Concept of Health

Health was traditionally related to the absence of disease. As opposed to illness, health meant a transitional state of the body capable of successfully overcoming affections and pathologies, and avoiding disease.

The World Health Organization understands health as:

A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease. This definition represents the first integral conception of health, in which psychological and social dimensions are included.

Sport and physical education5.44 KB

1. Definition of Standard Costs

Standard costs are predetermined costs established under certain assumptions. They define the internal and external behavior, forecast both controllable and non-controllable parameters, and serve as an objective of action in management.

2. Advantages and Disadvantages of Standard Costs Compared to Historical Costs

Standard cost systems are based on standard costs rather than historical costs. Their advantages are:

  • They are a key reference instrument for management.
  • Variances allow the principle of management by exception to be applied.
