I tried to find the academic definition of deep exhalation/inhalation
but found nothing special.
I speculate that the correct definition is as follows:
• Deep Exhalation: Exhaling the air with effort as much as possible, after a normal "inhalation".
• Deep Inhalation: Inhaling the air with effort as much as possible, after a normal "exhalation".
The corresponding volumes of the air which is being moved inside respiratory tracts would be:
Vdeep exhalation = Tidal Volume
+ Expiratory reserve volume (ERV)
Vdeep inhalation = Tidal Volume
+ Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)
But, in case we define them as below, the previous conclusion regarding the volumes turns wrong and consequently should be revised.
• Deep Exhalation: Exhaling the air with effort as much as possible, after a normal "exhalation".
• Deep Inhalation: Inhaling the air with effort as much as possible, after a normal "inhalation".
Vdeep exhalation = Expiratory reserve volume (ERV)
Vdeep inhalation = Inspiratory reserve volume (IRV)
I think it's impossible to assess without any subtle definition. I'm really confused.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
