Galileo Research Facts No. 123: Can Galileo Training during squats increase muscle activation with each repetition?
This study investigates the effects of exhaustive squats with and without Galileo Training on muscle activation (EMG) (5*10 Sets deep squats, with & without Galileo Training, 22Hz, pos. 4, extra weight: 10RM = 60% Body mass). Compared to the control group without vibration the Galileo Group could almost triple muscle activation (+196%) during eight repetitions...
Galileo Research Facts No. 87: Can 18 minutes Galileo Training per week reduce body fat?
During the 2nd Berlin Bedrest Study (BBR2) the participants had to stay in bed for 55 days. One control group did no training at all, the second one resistance exercises (RE) and the Galileo group did resistance training + vibration (24Hz, 6x1 min. to exhaustion, 3/week). While both control groups increased local body fat only the Galileo group was able to reduce local body fat by up to 12% with just 18 minutes Training per week...
Galileo Research Facts No. 28: Can Galileo Training compensate the negative effects of HIT on anaerobic power?
This study used Galileo Training in rest phases between High Intensity Training (HIT) intervals to reduce loss of anaerobic power (20 Sessions HIT, HIT+18Hz/HIT+30Hz, 3 min., pos. 3, knees half bent). Galileo Training during rest phases could compensate the HIT associated loss of anaerobic power and MyHC-2x fiber cross-sectional area completely. Galileo Training at 18 Hz showed about 20% higher effects than training at 30Hz...
Galileo Research Facts No. 21: Does blood-flow during Galileo Training increase with frequency and Amplitude?
This study reports the influence of frequency and amplitude during Galileo Training on the blood-flow (1 min., 5-30Hz, position 2.5 and 4.5, static squatting). The results show that with increasing frequency and increasing amplitude blood-flow velocity during Galileo Training can be increased by 220% to 420%.
Galileo Research Facts No. 18: Does Galileo Training transmit more vibrations to the head than vertical vibration training?
This study compares vibration transmission to the head at different knee angles for Galileo Training compared with vertical vibration (30Hz, pos. 2, standing, knee angle between 10° and 35°). For identical stimulation parameters (30Hz, pos. 2) vibration transmission to the head for Galileo Training is between 40% and 65% smaller than in vertical vibration. For this reason Galileo Training also supports frequencies below 20Hz...
Galileo Research Facts No. 15: Can Galileo Training decrease contractures?
This study shows the effect of Galileo Therapy (Cologne Concept: 3x3 minutes, 10 session/week, 26 weeks) with Spina Bifida patients (5-13 years). Contractures in Hip extension improved up to 36% and up to 14% in knee extension. At the same time standing improved by 36% (GMFM-D) and walking improved by 20% (GMFM-E). (Before Galileo Therapy, after Galileo, after additional 6 month without Galileo Therapy)...
Galileo Research Facts No. 2: Is Galileo Training more effective for muscle activation than vertical vibration?
This study compares muscle activation of the legs (EMG) of Galileo Training compared to vertical vibration (30Hz and 2mm amplitude). Compared to vertical vibration Galileo Training results in up to 150% higher additional activation of the muscle using identical amplitude and frequency (100% equivalent to standing)...
Galileo Research Facts No. 1: Can Galileo Training reduce Muscle Soreness?
This study investigates the influence of Galileo Training on muscle soreness. Both groups trained eccentric quadriceps extension at 120% 1RM. The Galileo group then trained for 3 minutes with Galileo at 12Hz. Galileo Training halved the subjective muscle soreness...
