  Although the form for implementing this invention is demonstrated below, it can not be overemphasized that this invention is not limited to this.

  We used statistical methods based on statistics for the following demonstrations. Describe the methods and terms in detail.

  In order to verify the significance of each value (for example, the difference of the result in the following item), p value was computed from the average value of the measured value. Statistical analysis software "R" was used to calculate the p value.

  A scatter plot is one of the graphical representations for bivariate data, which indicates whether the data is distributed on a straight line or on a curve, the strength of correlation, the presence or absence of outliers, the state of clustering, and the scatter density.

  The p value is the probability that the test statistic is the value under the null hypothesis in the statistical hypothesis test, and the smaller the p value, the less likely the test statistic will be the value. It means that. Generally, when the p value is less than 5% or 1%, the null hypothesis is rejected as false and the alternative hypothesis is adopted.

  The “POMS 2 shortened version of the questionnaire” was adopted as a highly reliable international standard that can determine relaxation effects, measure fatigue, and grasp mood changes in experimental research.

  TMD (Total Mood Disturbance) is a combined score of [anger-hostility] + [confusion-embarrassment] + [depression-depression] + [fatigue-lethargy] + [tension-anxiety]-[vigor-vitality]. It is. When the TMD score is high, it indicates that the negative emotion is felt strongly.

  R-2 (argument) is called a determination coefficient, and indicates the degree to which the set condition is determined (explained) when looking at the relationship between the independent variable (setting condition) and the dependent variable (observed data). The closer the value is to 1, the higher the decision rate.

  Tables 7 to 14 below are scatter plots created using statistical analysis software in order to show the correlation between the difference between the results of the questionnaire regarding the subject's mood state and the difference between the measurement results in the basic exercise. The points in the table represent data for each subject, and the straight lines in the table represent regression lines. The difference in the results described here indicates that the result of "without odor" is subtracted from the result of "with odor". Hereafter, it is referred to as the difference between the results.

  The correlation diagrams in Tables 7 to 14 below are prepared using the “R”, and the points in the table are plots of average values, and the straight lines in the table are items of the vertical axis and the horizontal axis. And the larger the angle of inclination of the straight line, the larger the rate of change.

  In the correlation diagrams in Tables 7 and 8 below, the vertical axis represents the value of TMD score difference, and the horizontal axis represents Stroop test, single-leg standing position, sitting forward bending, flicker, exercise bike (not shown). Represents the difference between the measurement results

  In the correlation diagrams in Tables 9 to 14 below, the vertical axis represents the difference between the results of the questionnaire regarding the subject's mood state, and the horizontal axis represents the difference between the Stroop test, single-leg standing position, sitting posture anteflexion, flicker, and exercise bike Represents

  The questionnaire was conducted by creating a unique visual analog scale (hereinafter referred to as VAS). The contents of the 20 questions in the VAS questionnaire are, as shown in Table 5 below, 5 items related to the feeling of the measurement of the item (1 to 5 in Table 8), often used in psychology "knowledge, emotion, meaning" 10 items (6 to 15 in Table 8) and 5 items (16 to 20 in Table 8) related to the feeling of use and taste of the scent. Specifically, 1 concentration strength (stroop), 2 balance (one foot standing), 3 flexibility (long seat forward bending), 4 endurance (aero bike), 5 awakening (flicker), 6 tension, 7 relax , 8 judgment powers, 9 self confidence, 10 self confidence, 11 motivation, communication with 12 people, 13 breathing, 14 tenderness, 15 brightness, 16 scents, 17 scent strength, 18 scent comfort, 19 tapes The adhesion of the 20 nose conditions.

Specifically, first dip the first roller into a container filled with perfume, transfer the perfume of the first metal roller to the second roller, and apply the perfume from the second roller to the third roller Preferably, the perfume is transferred from the third roller to the fourth towel-rolled metal roller, and the perfume is transferred from the fourth roller to the nonwoven fabric of the top sheet layer 8. The rollers are made of metal, but the third and fourth rollers are wrapped with a towel. When the amount of perfume in the container falls below a certain amount, the perfume is automatically replenished.

  When the colorant layer 9 is provided, the colorant is transferred to the non-woven fabric of the surface sheet layer 8 by a metal roller to form the colorant layer 9, and then the perfume layer 10 is formed on the top surface of the colorant layer 9. Configure as follows.

(4) Effects The nasal cavity dilator 1 has a horizontally long shape including the upper side 11, the lower side 13 and the left and right horizontal sides 16 shown in FIG. After attaching and attaching the nasal cavity dilator 1 to the skin on the upper surface of the nasal cartilage across the nasal septum, the core portion 6 is applied to the skin while minimizing irritation to the face of the nose and surrounding face. The spreading layer 3 spreads the area to be attached to the skin, and the nasal cavity dilator 1 reliably and stably lifts the skin on the upper surface of the nasal cartilage while expanding the nasal cavity and helping to perform nasal breathing efficiently. .

  An upper side recess 12 and left and right large convex portions 19 provided at both ends of the upper side 11 on the upper side 11 of the nasal cavity dilator 1; left and right lower sides provided at both ends of the lower side recess 14 and the lower side 13 on the lower side 13 By providing the portion 15 and the small convex portion 18, the nasal cavity dilator 1 fits with the movement of the nose and the skin around the nose, is difficult to be peeled off, and the attachment to the nose is preferable.

  By making the inner sheet layer 4 and the surface sheet layer 8 non-woven fabric made of fibers of polyolefin such as polyethylene and polypropylene, hydrolysis is difficult and chemical resistance is excellent, so the deterioration of the nasal cavity dilator 1 is prevented. be able to.

  The nasal cavity dilator 1 has flexibility and gentle resilience by setting the material and size of the core portion 6 to a PET material with a thickness of 150 micrometers to 250 micrometers and a width of 3 mm to 7 mm. Thus, the skin on the upper surface of the nasal cartilage can be pulled up across the nasal septum, the nasal cavity can be expanded, and nasal breathing can be performed efficiently.

  The perfume layer 10 is a uniform, just enough perfume layer 10 by transferring the perfumed roller to the first, second, third and fourth rollers and then transferring to the nonwoven fabric of the surface sheet layer 8. Can be configured. By wrapping a towel on the third and fourth rollers, the perfume can be more evenly transferred to the nonwoven fabric of the top sheet layer 8.

2. Fragrance (1) Selection of the Fragrance The purpose of the present invention is to change the scent that effectively acts on both the physical and mental surfaces to bring about beneficial effects on the body depending on various situations, among which especially during sports We decided to select perfumes that had the necessary concentration, alertness, and relaxation.

  Natural fragrances exist from a wide variety of raw materials, but the classification of flavors consisting of plant raw materials is classified according to the site of use of the raw material plant, and is derived from flowers such as rose, jasmine, buttercup etc., flower buds such as cassis etc. , Peppermint, spearmint, persimmon, rosemary, sage etc., all-grass origin, laurel, wintergreen, eucalyptus etc. leaf origin, cinnamon, chihada etc bark origin, ginger, turmeric etc rhizome origin, orange, lemon, lime, There are grapefruit, fruit origin such as vanilla, seed origin such as nutmeg, bitter almond, mustard, etc., and there are compounded flavors which are prepared according to the usage and image.

  Here, as a scent that human beings feel comfortable by smelling the scent, grapefruit, orange, citrus such as orange, lemon, mint based including menthol etc, linen based on fresh towel like scent, relaxing based, soap based, It has a herb-based herbal system, greenery, a scent like in the forest, air, nature and light.

  In selecting perfumes, we collected perfumes that fit the theme of "sports", "relax" or "concentration". And it excluded the thing which felt that it was clearly out of the preference of the general consumer among them, and it was squeezed to 27 points.

  Furthermore, the number of evaluation members was increased, and the smell with poor taste was excluded and it was selected as 15 points. The reason for excluding the taste that is not palatable is that it is estimated that the smell with many people who feel that they do not like it may reduce the performance of the subject.

  Next, a questionnaire survey was conducted by 17 people in the company and 70 outside the company, and "the most relaxing scent," "the most awakening scent," and "the most concentrated scent" were selected by sensory evaluation.

  Mint flavors (hereinafter referred to as "mint"), citrus flavors (hereinafter referred to as "citrus"), and Lynn's image flavors (hereinafter referred to as "flavors" for the purposes of "relax" and "concentration"). “Shinrin”) was selected, and as a contrast, the smell of sweat odor of the foot (hereinafter referred to as “sweat odor”), which is a representative of unpleasant odor at the time of sports, was selected.

  Since it can be inferred that the smell immediately after incense and the smell after 24 hours have different effects on the effect due to the difference between the top note and the last note of the smell, 24 after the perfume layer 10 of the nasal cavity dilator 1 is provided The measurement was performed using the nasal cavity dilator 1 that has passed time.

(2) Verification of the relationship between scent and basic exercise (2-1 method)
After sticking four types of scents such as mint, citrus, cyrin and sweat odor and the nasal cavity dilator 1 without scent on the nose, various basic physical strength measurements were performed to verify the effect of the scent on exercise.

  As measurement items, there are the six types of grip strength, one-leg standing, sitting posture anteflexion, whole body reaction measurement, exercise bike, and flicker. Grip strength refers to the muscle's instantaneous power, single-leg standing balance, sit-body forward flexion flexibility, whole-body response measurement instantaneous power, exercise bike endurance, and flicker an alertness. The sports performance measurement was selected from among the events used as a general physical fitness measurement in sports such as baseball.

  As shown in Table 1 below, in order to avoid the influence due to the sniffing order, the test order of the scent was divided into “scent → no scent” and “no scent → scent” and the measurement was performed. Specifically, the scent test order 1 is "no scent", and the scent test order 2 is "scent" with the nasal cavity dilator 1 affixed and the odor test order 1 and the scent test order 1 is "scent", the scent test The order 2 was divided into E to H groups of "no smell" and the measurement was performed.

The subjects are sales and clerical work, average age 26.8 years, 55 men. There are a total of 81 women, 26 women.

(2-2 result)
In order to verify the significance of the difference of the result in each eye, p value was calculated from the average value of the measured value. The table is a table showing the average value of the differences in the results for each scent and the significance for those results. Here, when the p value is 0.05 or less, there is a significant difference, and in Table 2 below, the column of p value without significant difference is shown in gray.

  In the case of the right hand, no significant result was obtained with the p value> 0.05, but in the left hand, the result showed that the handgrip decreased in any of the scents.

  In the single-legged standing position, the result was improved mobility in all conditions except when smelling the phosphorus in the left footstand.

  In sitting posture anteflexion, significant results were obtained in the citrus and cyrin scents, and both increased maneuverability.

  In the whole body reaction measurement, no significant result was obtained with p value> 0.05 for all scents.

  In the case of the exercise bike, significant results were obtained in the citrus and cyrin scent, and both were more maneuverable.

With flicker, a significant result was obtained with p value <0.05 only when sweaty, and mobility was improved.

(2-3 conclusion)
This result indicates that the four types of scent have different effects on motor function.

  With regard to functions such as balance function and flexibility, high performance was obtained when smelling a palatable taste. From this, it was verified that it is brought about by the relaxation effect by the scent.

  The effect of the scent was not seen on the grip strength and the whole-body response that required the quickness power.

  Even in the case of exercise tasks that last for a relatively long time, such as an exercise bike, favorable results were obtained with a highly palatable scent. Above all, a good result was seen in the smell of mint. As the reason, it is speculated that fatigue is alleviated by the refreshing feeling that mint has.

  The performance of sweat odor was rather better for the measurement that is an indicator of alertness like flicker.

  From these results, it was proved that the scent used had no effect on the motion required for an instantaneous response. In addition, it was also suggested that the scent with a relaxation effect does not have the effect of enhancing the arousal level.

The scent of mint and citrus is preferably formulated at the blending ratio shown in the following table. Specifically, as shown in Table 3, the scent of mint is 10.0 to 25.0% by weight of alcohols, 10.0 to 20.0% by weight of aldehydes, 10.0 to 20.0% by weight of esters , Ketones 10.0 to 20.0 weight percent, natural essential oils 25.0 to 35.0 weight percent, and others 1.0 to 10.0 weight percent.

When the p value is 0.05 or less, there is a significant difference, and the column of the p value without significant difference is shown in gray. In sports performance measurement, the result of p value> 0.05 was obtained in all items.

(3) Discussion The reason why three-point shoots did not give significant results even though expected results were obtained by strack-out is that three-point shoots are items that are prone to blur in the results because the chance effect is large. It is guessed. The chance effect is the influence of luck that can not be compensated by the ability and technology of the individual.

4. Effect verification in basic exercise of nasal dilator and correlation between subject's mood state and result (1) Method The sports performance was measured using the nasal cavity dilator 1 which was divided into 4 groups and 24 hours or more after aromatization as in the measurement of. Exercise measurement items are Stroop test, one-leg standing, sitting posture anteflexion, exercise bike, flicker.

  The subjects were general university students belonging to the athletic club, with an average age of 23.6 years, 32 males, 23 females, a total of 55.

  In addition, the subject's mood state after measurement was also investigated using two of POMS 2 shortened version and the original VAS questionnaire.

  The difference between "with aroma" and "without aroma" was determined in the TMD scores obtained by the POMS 2 shortened version questionnaire, and these were regarded as "difference in TMD scores".

  A scatter plot is created to see if there is a correlation between the "difference in TMD scores" and the difference in the results of "scented" and "scentless" subjects in each eye, create a scatter plot, and R-2 power The value was calculated.

  The difference between "with aroma" and "without aroma" was determined from the values obtained by the VAS questionnaire, and these were taken as the "difference between the results of the VAS questionnaire".

  To confirm that there is no correlation between the difference in the results of the “VAS questionnaire” and the results of the “scented” and “scented” subjects in each eye, create a scatter plot and The squared value was calculated.

  Tables 7 to 14 below are scatter plots created using statistical analysis software in order to show the correlation between the difference between the results of the questionnaire regarding the subject's mood state and the difference between the measurement results in the basic exercise. The points in the table represent data for each subject, and the straight lines in the table represent regression lines.

The contents of the 20 questions in the VAS questionnaire are, as shown in Table 5 below, 5 items related to the feeling of the measurement of the item (1 to 5 in Table 8), often used in psychology "knowledge, emotion, meaning" 10 items (6 to 15 in Table 8) and 5 items (16 to 20 in Table 8) related to the feeling of use and taste of the scent. Specifically, 1 concentration strength (stroop), 2 balance (one foot standing), 3 flexibility (long seat forward bending), 4 endurance (aero bike), 5 awakening (flicker), 6 tension, 7 relax , 8 judgment powers, 9 self confidence, 10 self confidence, 11 motivation, communication with 12 people, 13 breathing, 14 tenderness, 15 brightness, 16 scents, 17 scent strength, 18 scent comfort, 19 tapes The adhesion of the 20 nose conditions.

As shown in Table 6 below, the significance of the difference between the results in each eye (with aroma and without aroma) was shown. When the p value is 0.05 or less, there is a significant difference, and the column of the p value without significant difference is shown in gray.

The results with significance in the mean value of the difference between "with aroma" and "without aroma" were only the results of sitting forward flexion and exercise bike.
p value <0.05 · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · Str value test Stroop test, standing one leg, flicker p value> 0.05

  The result showed that the average value of sitting posture anteflexion was improved by about 2 cm in the aroma of citrus, and the average running distance of the exercise bike for 10 minutes was improved by about 330 m in the aroma of mint.

(2-2 Correlation results with POMS2 short version questionnaire)
The correlation between the difference in TMD scores obtained in the POMS2 short version questionnaire and the difference in the results for each eye was verified.

  As shown in Table 7 below, the scent of mint is R-squared value = 0.22 (p value <0.012) in the correlation diagram of the difference between the result of sitting forward bending and the difference of TMD score. The result was "weak but correlated".

In other items, no correlation was obtained with R-squared value <0.05.

As shown in Table 8 below, the aroma of citrus is R-squared value = 0.31 (p value <0.035) in the correlation diagram of the difference between the result of sitting body forward bending and the difference of TMD score. Result is obtained. In the other items, no correlation was obtained with R-squared values <0.2.

  One-leg standing position (left), one-leg standing position (right), sitting posture forward bending, R-squared value> 0.3 between the difference of the result and the difference of the feeling of the person after the measurement on the exercise bike respectively The results were obtained and proved to be "correlated".

Specifically, the following figures were calculated.
Balance: Difference between the difference between the person's actual feeling and the result of one-foot standing (right) R-squared value = 0.51 (p-value <0.0001)
Balance: The difference between the difference between the person's actual feeling and the result of one-foot standing (left) R-squared value = 0.36 (p-value <0.0009)
Flexibility: Difference between the difference in the feeling of the person and the result of sitting forward bending R-squared value = 0.32 (p value <0.0019)
Endurance: Difference between the difference between the person's actual feeling and the result of the exercise bike R-squared value = 0.31 (p value <0.0027)

As for the other items, R-squared value <0.2, and no correlation was obtained. In addition, the relationship between the difference between the result of one-foot standing (left) and the difference between the person's feeling of being relaxed is "correlated" with R-squared value = 0.32 (p value <0.0018). That was proved. In addition, 74% of the respondents answered that they were relaxed.

(3) Discussion As the average value of sedentary anteflex was improved by about 2 cm in the scent of citrus, it was possible to prove that the relaxation effect of the scent of citrus calmed down and as a result, the muscle tension was reduced.

  In addition, since the average running distance of the exercise bike for 10 minutes was improved by about 330 m in the scent of mint, it was proved that the refreshing mint scent increased concentration and led to improvement in endurance.

  With regard to the fact that the scent of citrus brings about a relaxation effect, its effect can be expected sufficiently not only from the measurement result but also from the result of the POMS 2 shortened version, “the aroma acts on the mental surface, Can be connected to the actual result of mobility.

5. Effects of nasal dilators on brain blood volume (1) Purpose The nasal dilator 1 of the present invention uses two types of scents such as mint and citrus to measure brain blood volume while sniffing them, It was decided to make measurements to investigate how the scent works on the mind.

(2) Method As the measurement items, it is possible to do without going down, and because it is a simple and light task that does not use much of the brain, we adopted the Stroop test which can make the conditions at the time of measurement constant.

  A Stroop test is performed for 30 seconds in a non-scented space, and then the nasal cavity dilator 1 (without a scent) is mounted, and a Stroop test is performed again for 3 minutes. Remove the nasal cavity dilator 1 (no scent) and do a Stroop test for 1 minute. After that, take a break of 5 minutes and do the same measurement again. In the second Stroop test, the nasal dilator 1 (without scent) was changed to the nasal dilator 1 (mint). In the third Stroop test, nasal dilator 1 (mint) was changed to nasal dilator 1 (citrus). The order of the nasal dilator 1 (no smell), nasal dilator 1 (mint) and nasal dilator 1 (citrus) was randomly set for each subject. The amount of blood increase in the frontal lobe of the subject was measured by SPECTRATECH at both the Stroop test and the rest time. The number of subjects in the relationship between the amount of blood increase and the aroma at the 16 frontal lobe sites was N = 8.

  SPECTRATECH is a device capable of measuring the amount of hemoglobin change, and this device was placed on the head of a subject to measure the change in blood volume in the brain.

  The subjects were sales, clerical work, average age 24.0 years, 3 males, 5 females, 8 people in total.

(3) Results As shown in Table 15 below, the relationship between blood gain and odor at frontal lobe 16 sites varies with blood volume depending on the attachment site of 16 channels, but with mint up to 48.13 m (mMol · mm), citrus An increase in blood volume was observed up to 66.72 (mMol · mm). On the other hand, in the case of no smell, there was a site that was lower than before the measurement, and the result was that the blood volume was reduced by 25.95 (mMol · mm) at the site that was the lowest.

The amount of blood increase in the frontal lobe in 3 minutes after wearing the nasal dilator 1 is as shown in Table 16 below, and the average value of each blood increase is 25.52 (Mmol · mm) for mint, 22.28 for citrus The results were obtained (mMol mm) and non-scented 3.77 (mMol mm).

Tables 17 to 22 below represent the measured values of the amount of increase in blood of the frontal lobe in SPECTRATECH as colors. It is the figure which looked at the brain from the front, and the left side shows the right brain to the left. Tables 17, 19 and 21 show the condition immediately after wearing the mint, citrus and non-scented nasal cavity dilator 1, and the conditions after about 1 minute after wearing are shown in Tables 18, 20 and 22. Immediately after wearing the nasal cavity dilator 1, it shows a greenish-blue color with little increase in blood volume, but after about 1 minute after wearing, both the volume of the mint and the citrus increase red and show no redness In the case of, the part where the blood volume increased partially could be confirmed, but the blood volume did not increase compared to mint and citrus.

6. Summary Citrus-based and mint-based perfumes are selected as perfumes that are expected to have a mental function such as relaxation function and concentration improvement from among a number of perfumes. When we examined whether there was a difference, the results showed that the mint aroma is enhanced in endurance by the improvement of concentration, and the citrus aroma is improved in flexibility by relaxing.

  By applying this result, the nasal cavity dilator 1 provided with the perfume layer 10 acting on the mental surface was invented. The smell of mint and the smell of citrus were set as the smell of the nasal cavity dilator 1.

  When the mood state when adding citrus was measured by the POMS 2 shortened version questionnaire, the result of "feeling relaxed" was obtained, and furthermore, there is a correlation between the feeling of the person and the measurement result of flexibility Was confirmed.

  In addition, when the blood volume of the brain was measured with the mint added, an increase in blood volume in the vicinity of the frontal lobe was significantly observed as compared with the case where the nasal cavity dilator 1 without scent was attached.

  From these results, the citrus scent has a "relaxation effect" and the mint scent has a "concentration improvement effect", and by supporting the human mental aspect, they enhance the mobility in sports It was verified to be a thing.

7. Conclusion As a result of sports performance measurement, it was verified that the sense of smell of citrus improves the flexibility and the sense of smell of mint improves the concentration. These results have been confirmed from experimental data that the blood volume of the brain increases when the nose of the nasal cavity dilator 1 is sniffed, and from data that there is a correlation between the user's mood state and mobility. The scent has a "relaxation effect", and the mint scent has a "concentration improvement effect", and it has been verified that they enhance sport performance by supporting the mental aspect of people.

  The relaxation effect brought about by the citrus smell of the perfume layer 10 of the nasal cavity dilator 1 and the concentration improvement effect brought about by the mint smell could be proved.

  The nasal cavity dilator 1 can stimulate breathing and support both physical and mental surfaces with the power of scent.

  According to the present invention, the nasal cavity acts on both the physical surface and the mental surface so that the nasal cavity can be spread efficiently to breathe through the nose, and the breath that brings about useful effects to the body can be efficiently utilized. An expansion device can be provided.
