One of the common explanations is that superficial abdominals compress the lower ribs, creating a narrow ISA. Typical advice for the narrow isa individual is to "exhale gently." This makes sense, since an aggressive exhale would further compress an already compressed lower rib cage. But why focus so much on exhales when inhales expand the rib cage? After all, a narrow ISA individual has a rib cage that is more compressed, right? Well, this is where it gets tricky. If you read classic texts, narrow ISAs tend to associate with other rib cage shape characteristics. 1. Narrow Medial-Lateral dimension 2. Wider Anterior-Posterior dimension 3. Obliquely angled ribs Based on this combination of factors, some propose that the overall position of the diaphragm in a narrow ISA is lower than that of a wide ISA. But there's a lack of direct evidence for this claim. On the surface, a lower resting rib cage could mean a lower resting position of the diaphragm. This would mean the diaphragm rests lower in the rib cage overall, but as a consequence of shape, not muscle activity. However, when people say the diaphragm is "descended," it infers that it is relative to the ascended (exhaled) state. But this appears to be purely speculative or conceptual. In my experience, narrow ISAs tend to lack inhalation strength and coordination. Their shape predisposes them to superficial abdominal compression, and thus, they have trouble expanding their rib cage. This means that inhalation muscles, like the SCM, scalenes, and diaphragm are more likely to be underdeveloped. As a narrow ISA myself, I've found progressive strengthening of the inhalation muscles and full-body resistance training to be particularly useful in improving rib cage shape. The reason? These activities develop the ability to create and/or maintain expansion, respectively. In fact, with weight lifting, the ability to resist compression happens proportionately with the ability to maintain expansion. For those who make the argument that heavy lifting disrupts the ability to expand, they are usually describing a load selection/management issue.
