Answer:

Cheetahs have evolved a much higher lung capacity than humans; it helps provide oxygen to all the muscles in the body and allows them to run very fast. ... In this case, it is not because they run fast but because they have a large body and must be able to take up oxygen in accordance with their body size.

Cheetah need a large lung capacity because they consume a lot of oxygen while sprinting.
