Q

Although there is no influence that endurance training has on functional capacity of the pulmonary system, what is one exception?

A

Swimming and scuba diving results in larger than normal tidal vol. and total lung capacity due to strengthening of inspirational muscles

  • due to to work against extra resistance that is over their chest (thoracic) area making it harder to breathe, so the inspiratory muscles get stronger compared to a normal regular endurance trained athlete

Q
