PEF, or peak expiratory flow, measures a person’s maximum speed of breath expiration and is measured with a peak flow meter. Watch the video to see how it can be used to measure your breathing health.

FEV1 or “forced expiratory volume in the first second” measures lung strength. It can be used as a means to measure lung diseases, but it can also be used as a measure of lung strength for those who are serious about their optimal lung performance.
