Correct Answer: inhale- diaphragm lowers and enlarges cavity. pressure inside the What are the Cues?
lungs is lower than the pressure outside Correct Answer: Cues are the actual execution of the exercise. precision provides
exhale- diaphragm relaxes and decreases volume of cavity. increases pressure of the results. Cue is to communicate which leads to good understanding which leads to
