Lung Capacity Between Swimmers And Non-Swimmers Lab Report
Gathering of Data and Presentation of Findings
To collect data and information from various girls between the ages of 14-19, I will issue a survey to collect data on their opinion of lung capacity between swimmers and non-swimmers.
In order to carry out the experiment, 10 swimmers between the ages of 14-19 and 10 non- swimmers between the ages of 14-19 will be used. All will be female. The non swimmers will do sports such as hockey, netball, rowing and athletics.
1. Each female will answer a survey to voice their opinion on the possibility of different lung capacities between the sports.
2. The survey will be filled out in front of the person that issued it. This ensures the views are from the person only and not anyone else.
3. After the survey has been completed, the girl …show more content…
Factors that may have lead to these results are: The Horizontal Body Position of swimmers in water, causes the pressures in the lungs to differ from a non swimmers vertical position and no water pressure. The Minimal Resistance: Swimmers train in medium water, which has an increased density when compared with air. This increase in density causes a swimmer’s chest to perform hundreds, thousands, millions of breaths against a small resistance throughout a swimming career. This minimal chest workout could develop the lung and aspiratory muscles, causing an increase in TLC. The Forced Breathing: swimming is an acute hypoxic activity and requires forceful exhalation causing a reverse vacuum of pressures; alteration could cause extra stress to the lungs and aspiratory muscles enhancing performances.
With reference to the graphs results, it is evident that there is an obvious difference in swimmers and non swimmers lung capacity. The swimmers showed to have a larger amount of air within their lungs than that of the
