Did you know? Men’s Larger Lung Capacity

Men generally have larger lung capacities and stronger respiratory muscles than women. This difference is primarily due to:

– Hormonal influences (testosterone)

– Body size and muscle mass

– Evolutionary adaptations

On average, men’s lungs can hold 20-30% more air than women’s. This means men tend to:

– Breathe more efficiently

– Endure longer periods of physical exertion

– Recover faster from intense exercise

However, individual variations and overall fitness levels can significantly impact lung capacity and respiratory strength, regardless of gender.
