About this listen
Nasal strips are back in vogue appearing on the noses of more and more WorldTour riders and Instagram ads alike. But do they actually help you perform better, or are they just another marketing-driven marginal gain? In this episode, Ronan Mc Laughlin is joined by coach and tech writer Andy Turner to dig into the science behind the performance claims.
We look at why nasal strips don’t work as claimed, the actual benefits that are never mentioned by the brands selling these strips, and when breathing through your nose can be beneficial. From VO₂ max myths and placebo effects to sleep quality, illness prevention, and the surprising potential benefit to fuelling, this conversation separates evidence from hype.
