Vital Capacities of Various Olympic Swimmers

The mean VC score of the athletes was significantly higher than the mean non athlete VC of same age & demographic level, It is suggested that the difference in VC is due to increased development of respiratory musculature incidental to regular & chronic physical training + less smokers and healthy life style among athletes. Athletes are always using there vital capacity, and training there breathing so it allows oxygen to effectively enter the muscles.
