“…A significant difference in VO 2 max when using the END was noted in five studies only, whereby one evaluated male triathletes [17], three studied adolescents of both sexes who regularly practice exercise [5,6,18], and one study was on adult men and women (the study did not describe the training level of the volunteers) [4]. The use of a placebo END was reported in ten studies [5,6,13,18,19,[23][24][25][26][27] and in the others it was compared with the absence of the END [4,10,17,21,22,29,31]. Eight studies evaluated men and women [4,5,13,22,24,26,27,31] and the others only assessed men.…”

“…Maximum heart rate was significantly lower only in the "nose" condition, compared to the other conditions. Case et al [23] evaluated the performance of nine men at running intervals and observed that there was no difference in HR between the conditions analyzed. Baker et al [24] found no improvement in the aerobic performance in ten adults (seven women and three men) when they used the END, compared to the placebo.…”

Background Numerous studies have shown that the external nasal dilator (END) increases the cross sectional area of the nasal valve, thereby reducing nasal resistance, transnasal inspiratory pressure, stabilizing the lateral nasal vestibule, and preventing its collapse during final inhalation. Objectives Our objective was to carry out a systematic review of the literature and meta-analysis on the effects of the END during physical exercise. Methods After selecting articles in the PubMed, Cochrane Library and EMBASE databases, 624 studies were identified. However, after applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, 19 articles were considered eligible for review. Results Those studies included in the meta-analysis, the maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2 max.) outcome was assessed in 168 participants in which no statistically significant difference was found, MD (95% CI) = 0.86 [− 0.43, 2.15], p = 0.19, and I 2 = 0%. The heart rate (HR) outcome was assessed in 138 participants in which no statistically significant difference was found, MD (95% CI) = 0.02 [− 3.19, 3.22], p = 0.99, and I 2 = 0%. The rating of perceived exertion (RPE) outcome was assessed in 92 participants in which no statistically significant difference was found, MD (95% CI) = − 0.12 [− 0.52, 0.28], p = 0.56, and I 2 = 27%. Conclusions The external nasal dilator strip showed no improvement in VO 2 max., HR and RPE outcomes in healthy individuals during exercise.

Our goal was to revise the literature about external nasal dilators (ENDs) as to their definition, history, and current uses. We reviewed journals in the PubMed and MEDLINE databases. The current uses hereby presented and discussed are physical exercise, nasal congestion and sleep, snoring, pregnancy, cancer, and healthy individuals. Numerous studies have shown that ENDs increase the cross-sectional area of the nasal valve, reducing nasal resistance and transnasal inspiratory pressure and stabilizing the lateral nasal vestibule, avoiding its collapse during final inspiration. These effects also facilitate breathing and are beneficial to patients with nasal obstruction. Furthermore, END use is simple, noninvasive, painless, affordable, and bears minimum risk to the user. Most studies have limited sample size and are mainly focused on physical exercise. In conclusion, ENDs seem useful, so further studies involving potential effects on the performance of physical tests and improvements in sleep quality are necessary, especially in children and teenagers.
