Abstract
Twenty-four tests related to ventilation and ventilatory mechanics and power have been performed, many in all of the 101 normal subjects in the test group. All the intercorrelations were calculated separately for the 57 males, the 44 females, and the total group. The results have been displayed in tables and the intercorrelations have been discussed as a whole. In addition, age and size as paired predictive factors for each of these tests were described separately for the male, the female, and the total group; and the results were tabulated for use in equations indicating standards for normalcy. The best predictions were listed for each test for use as normal standards.
