Why the vital capacity of a marathon runner is greater than the vital capacity of a nonactive people?

If a person exercises a lot, he or she will not only train his or her muscles, but also his or her lungs. And since the lungs are surrounded by muscles, you train these muscles too. So a marathon runner has stronger lungs, that have a bigger capacity, as the muscles that surround can contract and stretch farther than those of a nonactive person.
