Galileo Research Facts No. 129: Can squats with Galileo Training be more effective for warm-up than without Galileo?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Training used as a warm-up training. Other studies already showed the positive warm-up effects of Galileo on muscle function, power, balance and flexibility (#GRFS61, #GRFS60, #GRFS47, #GRFS38, #GRFS16). This study however assessed the increase of the muscle temperature and other parameters like heart rate during different warm-up modalities. It used well-defined static and dynamic squats with and without the combination of Galileo Training at 26Hz and position 3 (training focusing on muscle exhaustion and increased blood-flow and metabolism, #GIS1, #GRFS21).

The Galileo groups showed significantly higher effects over warm-up period of up to 10 minutes with increases compared to controls of +43% and +87%. Similar effects could be show for the heart-rate. In line with the other studies mentioned, this study shows once more how effective Galileo Training can be used as a warm-up tool – and this is independent weather it is used stand-alone or in combination with many other standard warm-up methods.
