Predict what will happen to the following lung volumes and capacities during strenuous exercise. Assume that you are comparing from a baseline of normal resting respiration. WITH EXPLANATION PLEASE Lung Volume or Capacity Predicted change from resting baseline : Use Increase, Decrease or No Change TLC (total lung capacity) No change VC (Vital capacity) IC (Inspiratory capacity) FRC (Functional residual capacity TV (Tidal volume) IRV (Inspiratory reserve volume) ERV (Expiratory reserve volume) RV   (Residual volume)
