Poor posture can decrease the lung capacity. While standing up straight, good posture allows the lungs to expand over a greater area, meaning the lung capacity has increased. Slouching, or doing things that are in bad posture reduces the area your lungs can expand into. This decreases the amount of air you breath in with every breath. Consequently you will have to take more breaths with bad posture to equal the amount of air intake with proper posture (though there would not be a large difference).

What part of the body does atelectasis affect?
Lung
How does body position affect respiratory rate?
Body position can significantly affect respiratory rate due to its impact on lung mechanics and diaphragm function. For instance, when lying flat, the diaphragm may have reduced efficiency, leading to a higher respiratory rate to compensate for decreased lung volume and gas exchange. Conversely, sitting or standing positions typically promote better lung expansion and can result in a lower respiratory rate as breathing becomes more efficient. Overall, optimal body positioning can enhance respiratory function and reduce the effort required for breathing.

Why does body position affect lung volume and capacity?
B/c for your lungs to get the best fill, your upper body has to be free to let your chest(and partially your stomach) expand w/o restrictions. If you're hunched over, arms clenched, that won't happen.
How alcohol affect the body?
It destroys the liver and suppresses brain cells.
What other body parts does the lung affect?
The lungs primarily impact the heart, as the heart is needed to pump oxygenated blood (from the lungs) to all parts of the body. So, ultimately, lung function (or dysfunction) affects all body parts.
What organ system does lung cancer affect?
Primarily the respiratory system. But it also has effects on the cardiovascular system and the entire body.
How does lung cancer affect ages?
Lung Cancer can affect any age any time any place
Does the basketballs shooting position affect you're shooting percentage?
Your body position is easier at about the head, not to high for your arms, not to low.
Identify the body system that controls lung function and what other systems are affected by reduced lung function?
The respiratory system controls lung function. Reduced lung function can affect the cardiovascular system by reducing oxygen delivery to tissues, the immune system by increasing susceptibility to infections, and the musculoskeletal system by limiting physical activity due to decreased oxygen supply.
