How To Measure (and Train!) Your Lung Capacity Using Spirometry and Respiratory Training

In this video you’re going to learn what lung capacity is and why it’s important for sports performance. You’ll also learn how to effectively conduct a spirometry test to assess the lung capacity and function of your athletes. And finally we’ll talk about how you can improve lung capacity using different respiratory training devices and exercises.

Yet we aren’t taught how to assess the respiratory system, how to detect a potential limitation and what we should do when a respiratory limitation is present. In this article we’re going to talk about what lung capacity is and why it’s important for sports performance. You’ll also learn what spirometry is and how to conduct a simple spirometry test to assess lung capacity and function. And finally we’ll talk about how you can improve your lung capacity using different respiratory training devices and exercises programs. Part 1: Lung Capacity (or Vital Capacity) Lung Capacity is defined as “the volume of air in the lungs upon the maximum effort of inspiration” (Delgado et Al, 2020). In other words, lung capacity describes the room you have available inside your lungs (your lung volume). This factor is influenced by many factors such as your sex, age, height, weight and ethnicity. You can find normative data for all populations on this page. To give a general idea, the average lung capacity of an adult male is around 6 liters. You might think that lung capacity is only important for endurance sport athletes, however given our access to physiological measurement tools such as the Moxy Monitor (NIRS technology) we know that oxygen is utilized right from the onset of any physical activity. This principle applies itself across the board regardless of the sport your athlete practices (soccer, rugby, bobsleigh, etc…). And if oxygen is utilized during an effort, the athlete’s ability to replenish his oxygen stores (think “refilling the battery”) and be ready for another effort shortly after is extremely important. With this example, you can see that even intermittent sport athletes can benefit from a more robust respiratory system. The more lung capacity is available, the more oxygen you can bring into the body, and the better you can perform. It’s as simple as this. So how do we figure out what our athletes’ vital lung capacity is and whether or not they are limited by how much lung space they currently have? There are different methods available to measure lung capacity. But the most accessible one and the simplest one for coaches to use with their athletes is called spirometry.
