Breathing Exercises: Exercises for the lungs also referred to as breathing exercises , are essential for improving lung function and promoting respiratory health. These exercises are intended to strengthen respiratory muscles, increase lung capacity, and enhance the body's ability to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. These breathing techniques are frequently used in medical settings: Diaphragmatic Breathing Pursed lip Breathing Segmental Breathing Diaphragmatic Breathing: The diaphragm , a dome-shaped muscle situated below the lungs, is used actively during diaphragmatic breathing, also referred to as deep belly breathing or abdominal breathing . By fully contracting the diaphragm, this technique focuses on expanding the lower part of the lungs, enabling deeper and more effective inhalation and exhalation. Technique: Look for a quiet location where you can sit or lie down. You can close your eyes to improve relaxation and focus. Put one hand on your upper chest and the other on
Agonist Muscle
these are chief muscles, which produces the main movement. it is also called as prime movers as they are initiative muscles for the action.there are many muscles are in the body which is acting as prime movers. but as for example, we take the flexors of the elbow to understand this concept.
elbow flexion is done by brachialis as well as biceps brachii muscles. no doubt both muscles are needed to do elbow flexion but the brachialis has its major function into elbow flexion. so here brachialis is the agonist muscle for the elbow flexion.
Antagonist:
I am against the agonist, so I am famous as antagonist woohoo!😏antagonist's muscles are acting against the agonist. for the example, we take the elbow flexion and extension. as we know biceps brachii and brachialis is acting together as an agonist for elbow flexion, here the extensor muscles of the elbow the triceps is antagonist's muscles.
