Galileo Research Facts No. 119: Can squats with Galileo Training be more intense than squats without?

This study investigated the effects of exhaustive squats with and without Galileo Training on blood lactate levels. In sport science lactate levels are considered as an objective measure for training intensity and individual exhaustion. Both groups received 5 sets of 10 repetitions with additional loads of the 10 repetition maximum (10RM) – which resulted in an average additional load of 60% of the individual body mass. In addition to muscle activation (EMG, see also #GRFS100) blood lactate values were measured after warmup and 1, 3 and 5 minutes after the end of the 5 sets.

The results show that the combination with Galileo Training resulted in double the increase (+100%) of the lactate levels compared to the identical exercise without Galileo. A result which is in line with every-day observations: in combination with Galileo Training comparable results of exercises can usually be achieved with much less additional loads and therefore with reduced joint-loads.

The resulting high lactate levels are probably also one of the explanations why Galileo Training has so high effects on endurance (#GRFS86, #GRFS56, #GRFS12, #GRFS11) – interestingly despite these high effects on lactate levels (which are usually associated with increased delayed muscle pain) Galileo Training can very effectively decrease delayed muscle pain as wells as Creatine-Kinase levels (#GRFS90, #GRFS5, #GRFS1). Another proof of how versatile Galileo Training can be used in sports and fitness!
