If you imagine taking the largest breath you can and then exhaling as hard as hard as you can until you've expelled every last bit of air you're able to, that is vital capacity. It is the maximum volume of air your lungs are able to breathe. What is left over is called residual capacity which is air that is still trapped inside your trachea, bronchi and bronchioles.

A vital capacity of 28 is generally considered lower than average. Normal vital capacity values vary depending on factors such as age, sex, and height, but typically range from 80-120 ml/kg.
