[Energy metabolism of men in full pressure suit with additional pressure].
The energy metabolism of men in full pressure suit with additional pressure and without additional pressure were measured during rest and exercise. Results show that the rates of energy metabolism of men in full pressure suit with additional 28 kPa pressure and without additional pressure increased as the exercise load increased. The rates of energy metabolism of men in full pressure suit with additional 28kPa pressure had no significant difference during rest and 0.9W exercise, but significantly increased during 8.5 W exercise, as compared with that without additional pressure. It suggested that full pressure suit with 28 kPa did not affect human energy metabolism during rest, but affected during exercise.
