Tall beauty Nikki Brooks is starting her day at the laboratory, and wishes to test her lung capacity. After verifying calibration of the spirometer, she proceeds to blow as much air through it as possible. She tries again and again to reach or exceed an average Vital Capacity measurement for her gender, height, weight, age, and smoking status, and puts her entire body into the effort. She does manage to reach 95 percent of average once, but is frustrated she cannot get to 100%. Is it possible that her legs are juts too long and her torso too short?
