We expect vital capacity to be greatest when standing because the abdominal organs move inferiorly, thereby allowing greater depression of the diaphragm and a greater inspiratory reserve volume IRV, thus I would say that in supine position, it is IRV the volume that is decreased ?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
