Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Consider a person with a lung disease that decreases inspiratory reserve volume. How might this affect their exercise performance, and what adaptations might they seek through training?

💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between lung volume and overall endurance.

Question 2

A swimmer notices that their vital capacity is higher than average. Explain how this could influence their performance during races.

💡 Hint: Relate breathing mechanics to the demands of racing and endurance.
