Maximizing Biological Energy Production

[Energizer]

In Generative Energy RP estimates that it might be possible for a 50% increase in biological energy by using present day knowledge of mitochondrial protection for an average adult. He mentions that certain other factors might be necessary to handle a doubling or tripling basal metabolic actviity, such as a lung capacity of 4 or 5 liters. Is it possible to develop this lung capacity as an adult?

My impression is that it is common to breath too much. Unless we have particular lung disease, I'd expect most people wouldn't have any trouble increasing breathing rate by 50% if necessary. I imagine it might be an issue for athletes who are pushing the boundaries?

That is a good question, strange that it was left unanswered. The Buteyko guys say that we should breathe very slowly and barely noticable so I don't know if a big lung capacity would help that much?
