How Your Lungs "Change" With Exercise

The video explores the mechanics of breathing and how pulmonary ventilation can increase significantly during exercise. It examines whether the lungs can adapt to exercise by increasing capacity and efficiency. The video explains that while the lungs are overbuilt and not the limiting factor in oxygen delivery, the cardiovascular system, particularly the heart, plays a crucial role. It also discusses potential adaptations in lung tissue and breathing muscles, emphasizing that the heart and muscles adapt more significantly to exercise than the lungs.
