 * LUNG CAPACITY AND VELOCITY WHEN DOING EXERCISE **

This experiment was done to figure out how breathing changes after doing various exercises. The reason air is needed in the body is that cells need oxygen to stay alive and without oxygen they wouldn’t function properly and would die. For the first experiment running, jumping jacks, push-ups, sit-ups, and wall-sits were done and after each exercise the lung velocity was taken. It was found that jumping jacks and running were the most tiring and sit-ups were the least tiring. This happened because running and jumping jacks make the body refill the oxygen faster because the energy is getting taken away faster and faster so the body is breathing harder when the lung velocity is taken.
 * ABSTRACT **

One thing that could have done better in the experiment was that there could be used more people in the experiment instead of just one. This would help because then there would have more of a variety of results instead of one person and an average could have been taken. Future experiments that could be done are seeing how much exercise is too much for the body and if asthma has an effect and how big of an effect it has.
