There are several lung volume
types, some static and some dynamic. Tidal volume is one of the essential
volumes.
It is essential in determining how
much oxygen enters the body and how much carbon dioxide exits. Tidal volume is
the amount of air that is inspired or expired during normal breathing.

Volumes of Lungs
Definition:
Tidal volume is the volume of air
that is inspired or expired during eupnea-normal respiration. Tidal volume is
measured and expressed in milliliters(m L.).
Standard value:
The average tidal volume in a healthy adult is 500 milliliters or (0.5 L); in a
female, it is 400 ml.
The tidal volume range is 6 to 8
ml/kg regardless of age and sex.
Tidal volume can vary significantly from person to person and even from one day to the next. Therefore, it is essential to understand the factors that affect it and how to improve it.
Increasing tidal volume increases the body's oxygen supply, improving health and performance. Understanding tidal volume is essential as it directly affects lung capacity. When we can take in more air with each breath, our body has sufficient oxygen for muscles and other organs, leading to improved performance and endurance.
Factors affecting tidal volume:
Myriad factors affect tidal
volume, which can be grouped /divided into three main categories. They are:
1. Physiological 2. Pathological,
and 3.Environmental.
Physiological factors
1. Position of the body: In
standing, tidal volume is more than In lying.
2. Age
3. Sex is less in women.
4. Chemical composition of body
fluids and blood. For example, when carbon dioxide accumulates in the body, it
increases tidal volume.
5. Exercise will increase tidal
volume.
6. Pregnancy
Pathological factors:
1. Diseases of the chest cavity
causing restriction in chest movements, for instance, chest injuries or
deformities.
2. Diseases of the respiratory
system -like pulmonary fibrosis and asthma.
3. Diseases of the nervous system
involving higher respiratory centers and nerves supplying respiratory muscles.
4. Diseases of the cardiovascular
system -for example, congestive cardiac failure.
5. Diseases of the metabolic
endocrinal systems-Diabetes mellitus.
Environmental factors :
1. High altitude
2. When the partial pressure of
oxygen is reduced
3. Pollutions-atmosphere
Tidal volume is a critical parameter, along with other respiratory parameters, when assessing the respiratory functions of different systems. It is used to diagnose and monitor various diseases.
By recognizing the importance of
tidal volume, we can improve it and our health and fitness.
Therefore, a deep understanding of
factors influencing tidal volume is crucial.
A Few Steps to Improve Your Tidal Volume
1. Maintain normal weight
2. Practice abdominal breathing,
also known as diaphragmatic or belly breathing.
3. Practice pursed-lip breathing.
4. Practice alternate nostril
breathing.
5. Practice breath holding
exercise.
6. Practice yoga regularly.
7. Practice regular aerobic and
anaerobic exercises.
8. Consider using breath exercise
machines.
9. Quit smoking and avoid passive
smoking
10. Avoid polluted air and remain
in a fresh, dust-free environment.
9. Eat a balanced diet.
11. Take proper quality sleep.
12. Avoid stress and strain.
