Questions and Answers

What happens to vital capacity during exercise?

  • Increases due to greater tidal volume and respiratory effort (correct)
  • Remains unchanged regardless of exercise intensity
  • Decreases due to higher residual volume
  • Decrease is proportional to the increase in breathing frequency

How does minute ventilation change in large aerobically trained athletes during intense exercise?

  • Can reach up to 175 liters per minute (correct)
  • Increases slightly, less than 10% from rest
  • Decreases significantly due to fatigue
  • Remains constant at rest levels

Which lung volume experiences a decrease during exercise?

  • Total lung capacity increases
  • Inspiratory reserve volume decreases (correct)
  • Residual volume shows a significant increase
  • Tidal volume remains unchanged
