Many people reflect on the fact that we have different lung volumes, thus we are not competing on equal terms.
But, says the big-lunged-guy, I have a bid body that needs a lot of oxygen. Right, but what about the skinny guys with big lungs.

Is there a way we could have a point system that takes into account both the lung volume AND bocy size.

Would this equation below be something that would reflect a fair static competition:

Body weight (kg)/VC(litre) x 12 = x

X = realized performance (seconds).

Example:
55 kg 4VC woman gets a factor of: 1.15
70 kg 6 VC person gets a factor of: 0.97
75 kg 8 VC person gets a factor of: 0.78

Woman does a 5 minute breathhold gets = 5.45 min.sec
Second person does 6.20 breathhold gets = 6.08 min.sec
Third big lung guy does 6.50 breathhold gets = 5.20 min.sec

Is this fair?
