lung volume during a forced exhalation.

During apnea there is no movement of the muscles of respiration and the
volume of the
lungs initially remains unchanged.
Current testing requires a series of methods including a spirometry test, which measures the amount (
volume) and the speed (flow) of air
during breathing, followed by a body plethysmography test measuring static
lung volumes and airways resistance and finally a diffusion test, which measures the amount of oxygen and other gases that cross the
lungs» air sacs.
One of the critical measurements for those with
lung disease is forced expiratory
volume (FEV): how much air a person can exhale
during a forced breath.
Cardiovascular exercise opens the
lungs and can enhance
lung volume due to the additional requirements for oxygen
during physical exertion.
