What would a strenuous exercise do to the vital capacity of an individual? Explain.

Solution

strenous exercise causes your heart and breathing rates to increase, which in turn delivers fresh oxygen to bloodstream. Lung capacity can be increased through regular aerobic workouts this is achieved by increasing the lung volume and increase is always modest about 10-15%

the other responses of long term expercise on body are

Increased strength of respiratory muscles
Increased vital capacity

Increase in oxygen diffusion rate
Increase in minute ventilation

Vital capacity is term used to describe the maximum amount of air releaseable from the body after inhalation. The lungs expand in size (they increase in volume ) which results in increasing of vital capacity. This effect happens when we exercise regularly because the lungs require higher levels of oxygen to be suppllied to the muscles. An increased vital capacity is helpful to an athlete because greater amount of nutrients and oxygen could be supplied to the needed muscles, which results in increasing time, the longer the athlete is going to be able to work without getting exhausted because there is more of a oxygen levels supplied to the working muscles.
