What is the maximum amount of air your lungs can hold?

Answer 1

I suggest that you look into peak flow and try your own, if not .... Peak flow is where you breathe into a device specially designed to measure the amount of air your lungs and how much it can obtain as everybody has a different maximum level of air (oxygen) they can get in your lungs.

Answer 2

There really isn't a technical name for lung capacity.

Answer 3

Take a deep breath, and blow into a balloon, until you feel that your lungs have totally expelled the air. The balloon size would probably give you an idea of the amount of air lungs can hold

Answer 4

It varies by person. Genetics, age, gender and hereditary genes all play a role in your lung size.
