It depends are what your trying to do. If you want to run longer, run more. Run around the block or go to the park and jog for about 15 minutes a day. When that becomes easy, run longer. Keep increasing the time you run periodically until you reach your goal.

Why does vital capacity gradually decrease with age?

Vital Capacity gradually decreases with age because, as one ages, the elastic fibers in the lung gradually decrease as well. This results in less elastance and greater compliance of the lungs: think of an over stretched rubber band. Further, the muscles of chest weaken with age; hence, the lungs are unable to exert the same force to bring air in or out so the vital capacity (what we are able to breath in and out or maximal ventilation) is decreased.


If you have 60 percent lung capacity how long before you have to have oxygen?

The need for oxygen therapy is not solely determined by lung capacity but also by symptoms of low oxygen levels. If you have 60% lung capacity but are not experiencing significant symptoms, you may not need oxygen therapy. It would be best to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper assessment and recommendation.

What are the effects of air pollution on people?

Air pollution can have various harmful effects on people, including respiratory issues like asthma and bronchitis, cardiovascular diseases, and even lung cancer. Long-term exposure to polluted air can lead to a decline in lung function, exacerbate existing health conditions, and increase the risk of premature death. Children, the elderly, and individuals with underlying health conditions are particularly vulnerable to the health impacts of air pollution.


What is the average lung capacity for a 60 yr old female?

The average lung capacity for a 60-year-old female is around 2.4-3.1 liters. However, this can vary based on factors like height, weight, fitness level, and overall health. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help improve and maintain lung capacity.
