An article on Sports TV on football fads that are due to end includes among them using nasal strips to allow players a larger intake of air, and quotes Frank Cerny, professor emeritus of exercise and nutrition sciences, who said, "We wanted to see if the strips, when worn correctly, have any effect at this level of performance. The answer is, they don't."
