Depends on the cause of the pain, but if the pain is from overexertion from intense physical activity, may be due to the muscles involved in respiration. The intercostal muscles between the ribs, and diaphragmatic muscles, both expand and are placed under greater stress during inhalation. Upon exhalation, the release of air allows these muscles to relax without effort, being usually a passive part of the breathing cycle.
