You’ve got some pretty bad answers here. I don’t have time to give you a good one. Just look up vo2 max and realize that the lungs are just a small part of your entire cardiopulmonary system. Your actual lungs don’t have change much to greatly increase your body’s oxygen carrying capacity. Oxygen carrying capacity is what people think of when they say lung capacity.

Basically it’s more about your heart than your lungs for healthy people.
