Q

What is residual volume? RV

A

The air that remains in your lungs at all times

17
Q

What is vital capacity? VC

A

This is the volume of air that you breathe in and out in a large breath

18
Q

What is ventilation? V

A

This is the general breathing in and out of oxygen and carbon dioxide transported to and from the lungs
v= respiratory rate x tidal volume

19
Q

What is total lung capacity? TLC

A

The volume if air on the lungs at maximum inflation. Average = 600ml

20
Q

What is VO2 max?

A

This is the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use for each kg of body weight (how effectively you use your oxygen)

21
Q

What is a muscle pump?

A

A collection of skeletal muscles that aid the heart in circulation and blood return.
