Vital Capacity the greatest amount of air that can be forced from the lungs after maximum inhalation

Oxygen debt is the extra oxygen consumed after a period of hard exercise

Increase in vital capacity delays the process of oxygen consumption and thus the oxygen lasts for a longer time period. Therefore late oxygen debt will be caused
