Does the nasal dilator help in sports activity?

Passali, D.
- Abstract
The article reports whether the nasal dilator help in sports activity. The author states that most nasal dilators now on the market and introduced in agonistic practice, consist of a small self-adhesive strip of inert material with a sort of scaffolding inside giving rigidity to the whole device. In its application, the two tiny stiff bars inside plasters mechanically lift up wings of the nose, achieving in this way an increase in valvular section and consequently in air capacity. It is clear that from both the functional point of view and the geometric point of view that application of the dilator has proven to be effective.
