It's the inspiratory reserve volume plus the tidal volume plus the expiratory reserve volume
Inspiratory reserve volume is the volume you can inhale past the normal tidal volume.

The average inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) for adults is around 3,000-3,500 mL. This volume represents the maximum amount of air a person can inhale beyond their normal tidal volume during a deep breath. It is an important component of lung capacity and respiratory function.
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.
The amount of air beyond tidal volume is known as the inspiratory reserve volume (IRV) and expiratory reserve volume (ERV). Inspiratory reserve volume is the additional air that can be inhaled after a normal tidal inhalation, while expiratory reserve volume is the air that can be exhaled after a normal tidal exhalation. Together, these volumes contribute to the total lung capacity and are crucial for assessing respiratory function.
residual (reserve) volume
The abbreviation FRV stands for functional reserve volume. Functional reserve volume is used to describe the volume of air in ones lungs at the end of the expiratory position.
Inspiratory Reserve Volume
Expiratory reserve volume is decreased in a patient with emphysema. This patient will struggle to breathe out because air is getting trapped within the lungs. There is also an increase of co2 in the blood because of the inability for the patient to exhale.
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?
