What are some good ways to increase my lung capacity and endurance?

Simply, breathe more. The more and longer you expand and contract your lungs...the more they will "work out". For lung capacity...try holding your breath underwater. Ive been doing it for about 5 years and Im up to about 45 seconds.

You can increase the lung capacity but the rib bones will stay the same size. :D

To build endurance you have to do a gradual workout increase daily, such as run a 2m a day for a week the next week run 2.1m and so on, as for building muscle to assisnt in increasing endurance try creatine

Try pushups and pullups

Doing lots of push-ups is impressive but it won't make you ripped.  It will help with endurance but you need to combine it with lifting weights or resistance training.  Arm curls, bench press, etc.  If you don't have access to the bench press get dumbbells and do a dumbbell press.  You can sit in a chair or anywhere to lift free weights.  They're not too expensive until you start getting up to the heavy ones which might take awhile since you're 110 pounds.  (No offense intended.)

Run, you can build your wind and Lung capacity before summer Practice and it will continue to grow during practice. Also doing agility drill like 3 cone drill and the L drill will increase your agility on defense and your route running capability at tight end. The most beneficial work out for a football player- Core Workouts and for goodness sake stay off the ground, you don't use your core in football like you do when you do sit-ups. Standing Medicine ball chest pass and medicine ball granny throw like shooting a basket ball granny style but straight up, both will strengthen your core and help you take on blockers and make the big hit.

Interval training.  Run as hard as you can for two minutes, then jog easyly for two minutes, then run as hard as you can for three minutes and jog for three minutes.  You get the picture?  You need to push yourself into O2 deficit over and over. Burn more O2 than you can take in.  It will take longer to reach that point every time you try.  This will increase your aerobic capacity.  It will also help you to increase your glycogen stores wich will increase your stamina.

Got to increase your VO2 Max, that is, the volume of oxygen your body can process in a given time.  When you're out training, switch back and forth between a steady pace and brief spurts of very fast running.  The trick is to keep your heart rate at about 90% of max.  Only do this if you're already in decent shape.

you could have exercise induced asthma. Assuming you've been the doctor and tested and this isn't it.. then the answer may be simple...\n\nyou don't run enough sprints.\n\nmarathon runners can't sprint well typically. Most sprinters can't run a marathon.\n\nYour cardio capacity is specific to the type of exercise you do.\n\nLSD - long slow distance - training is good to establish a base of basic fitness but once you start trying to do "speed work" and sprints of any kind (rowing, running, etc.) you'll find that you get winded much faster.\n\nThis is why a lot of trainers and coaches today don't recommend that you start with LSD training if you want to get fast and develop a stronger VO2 max (basic measure of lung capacity).\n\nYou could go to the doctor's and get your lung capacity tested. this is certainly a safe and smart thing to do. But after that you need to start embracing intervals...\n\nIntervals are where you alternate running fast and then slowing down. Basically, you are doing sprints and then slowing down to recover and then repeating this over and over.\n\nFor example\n\nrun 30 secs\njog/walk for 1 min\nrun 30 secs\njog/walk 1 min\n\nrepeat for a total intervals.\n\nyes, you aren't "exercising" much here. BUT.. this has been scientifically proven to increase VO2 Max, cardio, and overall strength-endurance. See studies by Tabata and on interval training.\n\nGood luck

Yes they do; the more you exercise, the more efficient your pulmonary and cardiovascular systems become, which leads to a greater VO2 Max, or greater lung capacity.

First thing...  People have the tendency to hold their breath when they run. So remember to consciously make yourself breathe in and  breathe out.... \nSecond run/walk/jog at a comfortable pace for a couple minutes then push yourself to increase the pace as fast as you can for 30-45 seconds. Then relax and run/walk/jog at a comfortable pace again. \nContinue this and as you get stronger increase the high-speed intervals to 1-2 minutes-even more. \nInterval training is the best way to increase endurance and is most effective form of cardiovascular exercise.\n\nGood luck\nHope this helps!

well it's easy for me cause i'm a soprano singer but if it really means that much to you try singing scales higher and higher slowly until you can reach the note. it also helps with lung capasity

I would consult a physical therapist.\nOtherwise try these.\n\nSome simple exercises can improve your breathing if you have emphysema or another chronic lung disorder. They help you control the emptying of your lungs by using your abdominal muscles. Do them two to four times daily.\n\nDiaphragmatic breathing\nTo perform this type of breathing exercise, take these steps:\n\nLie on your back with your head and knees supported by pillows. Begin by breathing in and out slowly and smoothly in a rhythmic pattern. Relax. \nPlace your fingertips on your abdomen, just below the base of your rib cage. As you inhale slowly, you should feel your diaphragm lifting your hand. \nPractice pushing your abdomen against your hand as your chest becomes filled with air. Make sure your chest remains motionless. Try this while inhaling through your mouth and counting slowly to three. Then purse your lips and exhale through your mouth while counting slowly to six. \nPractice diaphragmatic breathing on your back until you can take 10 to 15 consecutive breaths in one session without tiring. Then practice it on one side and then on the other. Progress to doing the exercise while sitting erect in a chair, standing up, walking and finally, climbing stairs.\n\nPursed-lip breathing\nTry the diaphragmatic breathing exercises with your lips pursed as you exhale, that is, with your lips puckered — the flow of air should make a soft "sssss" sound. Inhale deeply through your mouth and exhale. Repeat 10 times at each session.\n\nDeep-breathing exercise\nWhile sitting or standing, pull your elbows firmly backward as you inhale deeply. Hold the breath in, with your chest arched, for a count to five, and then force the air out by contracting your abdominal muscles. Repeat the exercise 10 times.

I am asthmatic ( I think this is what your doictor means) also and have found the following to be good.\n\nWalking - Don't go crazy. Start with what you can and then build up.\nSwimming - Great as your lungs are using all the oxygen in them.\nCycling - Take my little boy for a bike ride every week. Just stop for 5 minutes when I get a little out of breath.\n\nStart by running (or walking quicker) up stairs and build it from there. Also, watch what you eat as some foods can trigger astmatic or allergic reactions (mine is rape seed oil, starts me wheezing like a cart horse). \n\nCut down on the fats and increase the exercise, this should help.\n\nBest of luck.
