Aside from exercise, becoming a diaphragmatic breather could increase one's breathing capacity by 25%, thus increasing one's VO2 max. Placing one's belt below their bellybutton and pulling up one's shirt to allow sufficient lung expansion aids increased oxygen intake. Quickly exhaling and naturally breathing in frequently increases speed due to greater carbon dioxide depletion and naturally increasing oxygen intake.
