What should be done to address active insufficient muscles?

To effectively address active insufficient muscles, strengthening them is the most appropriate approach. Active insufficiency occurs when a muscle cannot produce an adequate force due to being elongated or shortened excessively, which limits its ability to generate tension when it is placed in a specific posture. By focusing on strengthening the affected muscle, you can improve its capacity to contract effectively even when it is positioned at a disadvantage.

Strengthening the muscle enhances its ability to generate torque and improves overall muscle function, thereby minimizing the impact of active insufficiency. This process can involve resistance training or specific exercises targeting the muscle group in question, promoting better muscle engagement and performance during physical activities.

While stretching, resting, or joint mobilization can have their applications in different contexts, they do not directly address the issue of active insufficiency. Stretching may temporarily relieve tension, but it does not build the muscle's strength or ability to perform efficiently under load. Resting could lead to further weakening of the muscle, while joint mobilization focuses more on improving joint range of motion rather than the muscle's functional capacity. Therefore, strengthening is the most effective strategy to combat the limitations posed by active insufficiency in muscles.
