[Energy consumption of gastroenterology patients during complex sanatorium-health resort treatment]

The gas exchange method was used to study energy expenditures of gastroenterological patients receiving regulated balneotherapeutic procedures, during therapeutic physical training, and terrain cure. The time card and tabular method was applied to determine energy expenditures of patients under the conditions of sparing and training regimens of health resort treatment. The daily energy expenditures amounted to 2714 +/- 61.1 kcal (11 355 +/- 255.6kJ) to 2252 +/- 54.1 kcal (9422.4 +/- 226.3kJ) for men and women, respectively under sparing regimen; to 3662 +/- 89,4 kcal (15 322 +/- 374,0 kJ) and 2924 +/- 78,8 kcal (12 234,0 +/- 329,7 kJ) for men and women, respectively under training regimen. The data obtained point to the necessity of a differentiated approach to the dietetics depending on the treatment regimen at gastroenterological sanatoria.
