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
Active insufficiency, muscles can't go for further shortening while doing the activity on the nearest joint, which the muscle crosses. agonist muscles are mostly showing this phenomenon.
let's take the example of flexor compartment muscles of the forearm. flexor compartment muscles of the forearm are responsible for elbow flexion, metacarpal flexion proximal interphalangeous flexion, and distal interphalangeous flexion.

if the movement is done as said in the same sequence, the person will feel difficult to flex MCP and fingers after flexing the elbow and wrist, because muscles are already shortened by the elbow and wrist flexion. so further movement is difficult as it is restricted.
this is called Active insufficiency
