Physical exercise temporarily relieves allergy-induced nasal congestion
Clinical evidence indicates that physical exercise can temporarily alleviate nasal congestion by decreasing nasal airflow resistance and reducing nasal blood flow.
The claim is specific and falsifiable. Paper [1] and Paper [10] both provide empirical evidence showing that physical exercise reduces nasal resistance/congestion and improves nasal airflow parameters. Therefore, the claim is supported by the retrieved literature.

Demonstrated that submaximal exercise decreases nasal airflow resistance and increases nasal mucous velocity in subjects.
