A member asked:
Can you tell me if jogging increases your lung capacity?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lung capacity: Yes it does. Regular exercise does help with your lung capacity. Initially to increase it, and as you keep it up, you have less chance to loose capacity quickly as you age. Best of luck, but do not go overboard!
