Many sports in today's action-packed world require you to use a vast amount of air from lung capacity to be successful. While there are ways to the size of your lungs, there are many ways to increase the amount of air taken in by your lung capacity, and the efficiency with which they capture oxygen. Practice these exercises daily, and you are bound to see an increase in your lung capacity. Here's Tips On How to Increase Your Lung Capacity :
- Training at higher altitudes, if possible, you can also help increase average lung capacity. The air in high altitude areas has less oxygen in it, which will force your lungs to work harder and become more efficient. But be careful, though, as altitude sickness is a possibility until your body adjusts -- this will require weeks to a couple of months.
- You probably already know to stay away from any kind of smoking, but you should also stay away from smoke-filled environments, where you're exposed to second-hand smoke.
- Playing any wind instrument with correct diaphragm breathing techniques can make a dramatic change in lung capacity and exercise. Singing is also a great way to achieve the same results.
- In a pool, position your chest as far underwater as possible and breathe through a tube. The further underwater you are, the more pressure is applied to your chest, making it hard to breathe. Make sure you can keep the tube above water or you will end up with lung volume capacity. Note that at even a couple feet down it may be impossible to inhale. AND DON'T COME UP WITH LUNGS FULL OF AIR - exhale before you return to the surface or you risk a lung barotrauma (this can occur at 2 - 3 metres or more).
- A 3/4" (1.9 cm) NON-PVC (PVC is highly toxic) pipe coupler is the perfect tube for most people to hold between their teeth to practice breathing exercises and, if it isn't right for a particular individual, they can use a 1/2" (1.2 cm) or 1" (2.5 cm) coupler. They are cheap and can be sterilized vital lung capacity. They are a great aid to help singers open up!
- Instead of using a piece of pipe you can use two knuckles. Also, thinking about breathing from the bottom up--like a glass of water being filled--helps.
- Breathing exercises during everyday activities can be helpful lung capacity. Breathe in for 2-20 seconds, breathe out for 10-20 seconds, and slowly increase the rate. Soon you will find yourself breathing out 45 seconds-2 minutes if your practice enough! You can easily do it while driving, sitting in the office, watching television, playing video games, doing paperwork, at the desk at school, or when you are simply bored!
