Galileo Research Facts No. 39: Are exhaustion effects highest during Galileo Training itself?

This is another essential and very interesting study that helps to explain the positive effects of Galileo Training on blood flow (#GRFS21, #GRFS24) but also on endurance (#GRFS11, #GRFS12) Nitric Oxide (NO) is produced by white blood cells and increases blood flow because it relaxes the muscles of the blood vessels and therefore increases their cross-section. The control group in this study did the same exercises but without Galileo stimulation. Galileo Training at high frequencies (in this case 26Hz) causes an (almost) maximum co-contraction of the trained muscles which then block their own blood flow because they squeeze their own vessels.

But a completely different result in the Galileo group: While the skin blood flow was highest during the training there was no significant increase in NO during the training but massively 5 minutes after the Galileo training. Why? An explanation can be found for example with #GRFS24: While skin blood flow increases during the training the highest total blood flow (vessel) is actually right after the end of the exercise (typically 20-30 seconds after). Galileo Training at high frequencies (in this case 26Hz) causes an (almost) maximum co-contraction of the trained muscles which then block their own blood flow because they squeeze their own vessels.

Because of this, blood flow inside the muscle cannot increase during the training itself. At the same time this condition is extremely effective to exhaust the local energy storage of the fast twitch muscle fibers (“sprinter muscles”) in a very short time. This causes locally a massive lack of oxygen which again causes the body to increase NO and therefore increases blood flow by relaxing the vessel-surrounding muscles (an independent thin muscle layer around the vessel itself, which controls the cross-section of the vessel and therefore the blood flow). However, since the muscle itself is contracted an increased blood-flow is not possible yet. All of this causes one effect anybody can try right away when training on Galileo at high frequencies (e.g. deep squats at 30Hz and position 1.5 or 2): During the active Galileo Training itself there is hardly any change in heart-rate or blood pressure – until shortly (20-30 seconds) after the Galileo stimulation is switched off and one steps off the device: now the muscle relaxes and the relaxed vessels cause an massively increased blood flow into the muscle

This local lack of Oxygen however not only causes the short-term effect of a massive increase in NO and therefore an increased vessel cross-section but if used over a longer period of time it can also causes an increase in endurance (#GRFS11, #GRFS12). ). Occlusion (which blocks blood-flow of arms or legs during the active training by using cuffs) uses exactly this effect – Galileo Training can produce similar effects but is even more effective when combined with Occlusion (#GRFS12, #GRFS33). Over time not only muscle and muscle function can be built-up but also there is a systematic adaptation of the body which is quite similar to high altitude training as used in professional sports – another proof how versatile Galileo Training can be used.
