∙ 13y agoI think it is swimmers or mountaineers.
In my opinion, rowers have a VERY large lung capacity. They have the largest hearts of endurance athletes due to the stress that their body is placed in. However, I'm not sure about anaerobic athletes.

∙ 11y agoPeter Reed (British rowing) has the largest ever recorded lung capacity of any athlete, measuring at around 11.68 litres (although earlier studies suggest the capacity to be lower, at 9.4 litres, but 11.68 is perhaps an improvement)
To put this quantity into perspective, the average lung capacity of a human is approximately 6 litres, meaning Pete has an incredibly efficient aerobic system inside of him and is said to have the lung capacity equivalent to that of a small horse.

What is lung capacity meant by?
Your total lung capacity is the total volume of the lung after maximum inspiration. (average 6 litres).
What is lung capicity?
Lung capacity or lung volume is the amount of air a person's lungs can hold. The average human's lungs hold 6 liters of air. Lung volume can change depending on one's altitude, age, gender, height, and activities (including sports, singing, playing woodwind instruments, etc.) among others.
What percentage of lung capacity does the average person use while at rest?
total lung capacity of human body 6000cc normal human being uses 300cc to 500cc only
What is the average lung capacity for a 10-11 year old?
The lung capacity vary on the person's age, gender, where he lives and more. For example, if he lives in a smoke-free area his lung capacity is probably more. The average lung capacity for a human is 4-6 liters of air and the average lung capacity for a 10-11 year old is around 4 liters.
What does it mean when someone's lungs are stretched to capacity?
Also known as Total Lung Capacity- the maximum amount of air your lungs can hold if you forcefully inhale.
How much air can a mere human take in?
Adult lung capacity is about three liters.
What variables affect lung capacity?
Vital capacity is a term which refers to the maximum volume someone can breathe in his lungs [ the max volume of air inhaled after a max exhalation]. It depends on many factors. How fit someone is, smoking, obesity, height, sex, body size and the posture of the body [when someone lies his vital capacity is less than standing]. Also when playing a flute instrument you'll increase your vital capacity,
What disorders increase a person lung capacity?
Lung capacity can not be increased by a disorder.
How did my tidal and vital lung capacity differ?
My tidal lung capacity was lower. I know the difference because in the tidal lung capacity you are taking in less breath. When you are doing the vital lung capacity, you take in more breath.
What is lung capacity decreases?
it has lung cancer
What is the effect of execersing on the rate of inhalation on lung capacity?
Exercising increases the lung capacity.
What are chronic effects of exercise on total lung capacity?
Total lung capacity is defined as the volume in the lungs at maximal. Regular aerobic exercise strengthens and tones the heart and lungs, enabling the pulmonary system to increase the maximum amount of oxygen that the lungs can handle.
