Abstract

The relations of anthropometric variables with the vital lung capacity studied by regression analysis, suggest that the anthropometric variables have a significant influence on its value, so that the average error of prediction of the vital lung capacity value on the basis of the applied system of anthropometric variables is very small. At the same time, the magnitude of the vital lung capacity depends to greater extent of the longitudinal dimensionality of the skeleton and body volume and body mass than on the direct variables of the chest cage from which the approximative estimation of the chest cage volume can be derived. From the practical point of view, the vital lang capacity of healthy persons behave as a morphological rather than functional characteristics, in spite of the functional nature of its essence.
