According to this classification system, COPD is present when: residual volume is > 140% predicted, functional residual capacity is >130% predicted, total lung capacity is >120% predicted, or maximum voluntary ventilation is <75% predicted.
Theoretically, it is preferable to measure maximal inspiratory and expiratory pressures at functional residual capacity because the recoil of the lungs or chest wall will not influence the respiratory muscle force produced.
[39,40] Further, the decrease in functional residual capacity predisposes the individual to closure in the dependent airways and an increase in the resistance of the respiratory system.
