Singers of course! Runners have to take short quick breathes while singers have to take large capacities of air to hold out a note! :P

How do you increase lung capacity during running?

Tip #1 for Increased Lung Capacity: - Do challenging cardiovascular activities - Start slow and work your way to more intense cardio depending on your goal. Cardio workouts can be progressive. Tip #2 for Increased Lung Capacity: - Train at higher altitudes Frankly, this isn't something most people can do all the time but it's a well known fact that runners who are serious will train for a time period at higher altitudes before a race. Their lung capacity will be larger at higher altitudes because there is less pressure from the atmosphere. Once they come down to sea level, they have a larger overall lung capacity for a short period of time. FACT: When somebody from sea level goes to a higher elevation, they often develop altitude sickness because their lungs cannot process enough oxygen for their body's needs. Tip #3 for Increased Lung Capacity: - Don't smoke These 3 tips will help you increase your lung capacity.


Does you age affect your lung capacity?

Men have larger lung capacities than women. Tall people also have larger lung capacities than short people. It is said that people aged 20-25 have larger lung capacities than other age groups, Its because by the time you have reached your twenties your lungs have reached their full capacity, but when you are a kid then your lungs aren't fully developed so they don't have a large capacity. From when you are 20 your lung capacity starts going down so an old man has about the same lung capacity as a very small boy.


Why do men have a higher total lung capacity?

All else being equal, lung capacity is a function of the volume of space enclosed by the rib cage, which is essential to the lungs' ability to inflate. Males, with their larger frames, tend to have larger rib cages. Lung capacity should not be confused with aerobic capacity, the ability of the body to acquire and efficiently use oxygen. That is a function more of physical conditioning than gender -- again, with all else being equal.

Which people might have a greater vital lung capacity than others?

The larger and taller people technically have greater lung capacity. The ratio still applies to fitness and endurance, because when someone is taller/bigger, their lungs require larger amounts of oxygen to sustain themselves.
