How does lung capacity affect VO2 max?
When you have better lung capacity, you can exchange more oxygen and have a better V02 max. Lung capacity can be increased with exercise (although it tends to decrease with age). This increase means there is more oxygen available in the lungs to cross into the bloodstream. V02 max is a measurement of the amount of oxygen your body can effectively use in a given amount of time. Hope this answers your question.
