I have huge lungs. When I get my PVT, the person giving to me always thinks somehting is wrong woth the machine. However, I also have asthma. I know other guys with large lungs (over 9 l) thye all have asthma.
A PFT is used to compare your lung volume and FEV1 to a statistical package of 1000s of data points. You could be a couch potato and get a 110% or a elite masters swimmer and never get to 100% (HELLO!).
My understanding is that lungs don;t "grow"--muscles grow. And our ability to process O2 can also be optimized through exercise.
Training (and a little rage) can also help in our ability to suffer horrible pain for minutes at a time.
