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

How is total lung capacity calculated?
Total lung capacity is calculated by adding together the vital capacity (the maximum amount of air exhaled after a maximum inhalation) and the residual volume (the amount of air remaining in the lungs after a maximum exhalation). This calculation gives the total volume of air that the lungs can hold at the end of a maximum inhalation.
What does it mean when someone's lungs are stretched to capacity?
Also known as Total Lung Capacity- the maximum amount of air your lungs can hold if you forcefully inhale.
What affects the amount of air you can hold in your lungs?
the air in the atmoshere in your region.
What is the equation to measure lung volume?
The equation to measure lung volume is Total Lung Capacity (TLC) = Vital Capacity (VC) + Residual Volume (RV). TLC represents the maximum amount of air the lungs can hold, VC is the maximum amount of air that can be exhaled after a deep inhalation, and RV is the amount of air that remains in the lungs after maximum exhalation.
What is lung capicity?
Lung capacity or lung volume is the amount of air a person's lungs can hold. The average human's lungs hold 6 liters of air. Lung volume can change depending on one's altitude, age, gender, height, and activities (including sports, singing, playing woodwind instruments, etc.) among others.
What is the amount of water in the air compared to the amount of air can hold is called?
The amount of water vapor in the air compared to the maximum amount it can hold at a specific temperature is called relative humidity.
What is the amount of water vapor the air IS holding compared to the amount of water vapor that the air CAN hold at that temperature?
Relative humidity expresses the amount of water vapor present in the air as a percentage of the maximum amount of water vapor the air can hold at that temperature. For example, if the relative humidity is 50%, it means the air is holding half of the maximum water vapor it can hold at that temperature.
What is amount of water in the air compared to the amount the air can hold called?
The amount of water in the air compared to the maximum amount of water vapor the air can hold at a given temperature is referred to as relative humidity. It is often expressed as a percentage.
Can you use the word 'breathful' as a noun and what does it mean?
This is an odd word-- I didn't find it in my dictionary. That doesn't mean it isn't a word. As a noun it would the maximum amount of air one would have in the lungs during an ordinary breath. Or, I suppose it could mean the amount of air you would inhale and hold if asked to hold your breath.
Lung capacity increases - the total amount of air the lungs can hold?
your mom 80% hahaahha
What determines the amount of water that can be held in the air?
The amount of water vapor that air can hold depends on its temperature. Warmer air can hold more water vapor than cooler air. This relationship is described by the concept of relative humidity, which is the ratio of the amount of water vapor present in the air to the maximum amount the air could hold at that temperature.
What instrument measures the amount of air in your lungs?
A spirometer measures the amount of air in lungs
