Question

1. Describe lung capacity in your own words:

2. Athletes have to be in very good condition. What type of athlete would you think
would have the largest lung capacity? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

1. Lung capacity is basically how much air (in volumes) your lungs can hold.

2. I think that a swimmer would be able to have the biggest lung capacity because when swimming, you are mostly underwater with no air, so being able to hold as much air in as you can when you come up to take a breathe will help improve how well you do.
