From pertinent investigations it follows that the daily food allowances for young swimmers of the sporting-type boarding school in Alma-Ata fully cover their needs for such main ingredients as protein, fats, carbohydrates and conform to the amount of energy expended by them. One should, however, point out some serious qualitative drawbacks in the dietary of the school inmates, such as an insufficient content of vitamins "B2" and "C" in the daily food ration.
