Most of the class measured our lung volumes. We breathed out as hard as possible. This measurement is our vital capacity. Most people had a vital capacity of 2- 3 litres but Lewis was over 4 litres. This could explain why he is good at long distance running. If you are asthmatic, your lung power is measured in a similar way with a peak flow meter.
