Spirometry is a basic medical test in which a patient inhales and exhales as hard and as long as possible into a tube in one long breath. The spirometer measures the total volume of air in the lungs as well as the amount that can be exhaled in the first second. Spirometry is used as a diagnostic tool to determine a host of illnesses.

The vital capacity was obtained when the subjects inhaled as much air as possible‚ and then exhaled everything in their lungs into the spirometer. The subjects did not inhale into the spirometer. This was repeated three times by each subject and then the numbers were averaged. This experiment included ninety subjects‚ seventy-nine females and
