IntroductionEver wonder if kids who exercise regularly have a bigger lung capacity? In this science fair project I'm going to determine if a person that exercises regularly will have a bigger lung capacity than someone who does almost no exercise.People will be tested twice, they will breathe their reserve air into a balloon ( the person will breathe out and then push out whatever air he or she has) and then a diameter of the balloon will be measured. Then this procedure will be repeated testing their full lung capacity, (he or she will breath into the balloon.) Then the information will be filled out on a chart and compared to see if people to see if my hypotheses is correct. I chose this subject because I want to see if people that exercise regularly will have a bigger lung capacity.
"A doctor measured my VO2 max, which is a gauge of how much oxygen you can take in and use. He said they were still the highest he'd ever come across. Basically I endure more physical stress than most people can, and I don't get tired when I'm doing it." said Lance Armstrong. Because he exercises so much it helps his breathing so he can take in more oxygen. I think people that exercise regularly will have a significant difference for the better in their lung power, because they have stronger lungs which allows them to take in more air.
