Thoracic movement is the movement of the thorax during breathing (ventilation). There are two types of breathing: Abdominal or rib breathing.
The abdominal respiration is the energetically more favorable respiration due to the less expended muscle strength. This is why abdominal breathing is used almost exclusively for breathing at rest.
