[Human nutrition under hyperbarism].

In a 15-day experiment six test subjects were exposed to a hyperbaric environment. Their actual food and water consumption was measured. The consumption of a diet with a caloric value of 3300--3500 kcal did not alter the body weight of exercising test subjects. During decompression the food consumption decreased. Certain food products caused dyspepsia. The total amount of consumed water was not more than 2500 ml/day.
