F, TV & VE

Question 1

Breathing Rate (f)

Answer 1

Number of times we breathe in or out per min ( Untrained- 12-15 breaths/min Trained- 11-12 breaths/min)

Question 2

Tidal Volume (TV)

Answer 2

Volume of air breathed in or out per breath ( Untrained/ Trained- 500ml per breath)

Question 3

Minute Ventilation (VE)

Answer 3

Volume of air breathed in or out per min ( Untrained- 6-7.5 l/min Trained 5.5-6 l/min)

Question 4

Minute ventilation equation

Answer 4

Minute ventilation= tidal volume x breathing rate
(VE=- TV X f)
