This is the amount of oxygen that is reserved in your body while you work out. The more that you work out the more of a reserve volume your body will have.
Regular exercise can increase the strength and efficiency of respiratory muscles, including those involved in exhalation. This can lead to improved lung function, increased expiratory muscle strength, and potentially an increase in expiratory reserve volume over time.
What happens to residual volume, tidal volume, inspiratory reserve volume and expiratory reserve volume just after exercise while breathing deeply and rapidly? Do they increase, decrease or stay the same?
ACUTE EFFECT - The inspiratory and expiratory volume decreases during exercise
Inspiratory Reserve Volume is the excess volume above the tidal volume that can be inspired. During exercise, there is an increase in demand for oxygen which leads to a decrease in IRV.
In moderate aerobic exercise, Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) and Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) refer to the additional lung volumes that can be exhaled or inhaled beyond normal tidal volume. ERV is the amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled after a normal expiration, while IRV is the additional air that can be inhaled after a normal inspiration. During exercise, these volumes may decrease due to increased respiratory rates and tidal volumes, as the body prioritizes oxygen delivery and carbon dioxide removal. Overall, both ERV and IRV play a role in the overall efficiency of breathing during physical activity.
Expiratory capacity refers to the maximum amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled after taking a deep breath. It is typically measured during pulmonary function tests and includes both the expiratory reserve volume (the additional air that can be exhaled after a normal tidal expiration) and the tidal volume (the amount of air normally exhaled during a relaxed breath). This measurement helps assess lung function and can be important in diagnosing respiratory conditions.

Yes, diastolic pressure typically remains the same or may slightly decrease during exercise.
During exercise, the expiratory reserve volume (ERV) typically decreases. This occurs because the increased demand for oxygen leads to more forceful and deeper breathing, which can reduce the volume of air that can be forcefully exhaled after a normal breath. As a result, the lungs are more fully inflated during physical activity, leaving less room for air to be expelled during forced expiration. Overall, the body prioritizes oxygen intake and carbon dioxide expulsion to support increased metabolic activity.
Residual volume remains constant during exercise because it is the amount of air that remains in the lungs after a maximum exhalation, and it is not actively expelled during normal breathing or exertion. The lungs' compliance and the mechanics of respiration prevent complete emptying, ensuring that some air always remains, which is essential for gas exchange and preventing lung collapse. While other lung volumes, like tidal volume and expiratory reserve volume, may change with exercise, residual volume is less influenced by activity levels.
No, expiratory reserve volume (ERV) is not the amount of air that moves in or out of the lungs during a normal breath. Instead, ERV is the additional volume of air that can be forcibly exhaled after a normal expiration. The amount of air that moves in or out during a normal breath is known as tidal volume.
