You put your finger on the issue. During the discussion above the words used in the question became something else. The issue is much more simple: let's try an experiment! Take your fist and hand and perform an auto-Heimlich but not too fast! If you try it on yourself, what would you say happens to your thoracic size? Bigger? Definitely.

The question never asked about thoracic volume (that came up in the discussion in this thread and was never clarified).


Well, we've just changed the question from defining "thoracic volume" to "thoracic size", which doesn't sound all that different.

Or how about we look at it this way: at the very least, the question assumes a definition for "thoracic size", which, as far as I am aware, is not common knowledge.

I know what you mean but I think that the most common definition of chest size is based on appearance (how big?) which refers to circumference.
