Energy losses, actual nutrition work fitness and metabolism were examined in 309 operators. It was found that energy losses in the operators were equal to 2724 kcal, while energy requirements did not exceed 3000 kcal/day. Actual nutrition of the test subjects was not adequate as regards the consumption of animal proteins, vegetable oils, vitamins A and C. Control panel operation produced marked shifts in the function of the central nervous system and cardiovascular apparatus of the operators. Disorders of lipid and vitamin C metabolism were also recorded.
