Galileo Research Facts No. 100: Can squats in combination with Galileo Training be even more effective?

Posted by
This study investigated the effects of squats with and without Galileo Training on muscle activation (EMG) (5 Sets of 10 squats, with & without Galileo Training, 22Hz, pos. 4). Compared to the control group the Galileo Group was able to increase muscle activation more (by up to 65% of maximum voluntary contraction, MVC) and could even increase the activation from set to set...

Galileo Research Facts No. 86: Can Galileo Training + vascular occlusion improve endurance muscles & metabolism?

Posted by
This study documented the short-term effects (3h post exercise) of Galileo Training + vascular occlusion on endurance muscles in trained endurance runners (30Hz, 90° dynamic squat, +70% 1RM add. load, 2*60s+180s occlusion). The control group received identical training without Vibration and occlusion. The Galileo group showed significantly higher improvements of endurance muscle mRMA and PGC-1α gene expression...

Galileo Research Facts No. 77: Can 3 minutes Galileo Training decrease side differences in one-legged jumping?

Posted by
This Study investigated the immediate effects of Galileo Training on the side-differences in one-legged jumping (26Hz, pos. 3, 3 min., bilateral 90° squats, both feet or only one foot on Galileo). The control group performed the identical exercise without vibration. Bilateral Galileo training improved jumping height of the stronger leg, one legged training focused on the weaker leg and decreased the side-difference by 12%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 61: Are 5 minutes Galileo Mano Training (dumbbell) an effective warm up Training?

Posted by
This study reported the warming up effects of 5 minutes Galileo Mano Training (Galileo vibrating dumbbell) compared to static exercises and arm ergometer training (5*1 min, 26Hz, 5 Exercises). The control groups performed the exercises without vibration or used an arm ergometer (5 Min., 25 W, 25 rpm). Only the Galileo group showed significant improvements in EMG intensity and peak power output of up to 6%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 60: Can Galileo Training be more effective than traditional warm up exercises?

Posted by
This study examined the warm up effects of Galileo Training in comparison to traditional warm up (cycling ergometer) and static exercises (5 min., 26Hz, pos. 3, 5 exercises). The control groups used identical exercises without vibration and traditional cycling ergometer (5 min. 50 W, 50 rpm). Only the Galileo Groups showed significant improvements for jumping height and flexibility (sit & reach) of more than 8%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 50: Can 5×1 minutes Galileo dumbbell Training increase muscle power in athletes?

Posted by
This study investigated the immediate effects of Galileo Mano Training (vibration dumbbell) on muscle power and muscle activation (EMG) in elite boxers (5x 1 min., 30Hz, 145° bent arms). One arm was trained the other was used as internal control. The side trained with Galileo could improve muscle power when lifting 5% of body mass by 13%. During Galileo Training muscle activation was increased by 110%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 47: Can Galileo Training be more effective for warming up than cycling ergometer?

Posted by
This study compared Galileo Training vs. cycling ergometer training for warming-up before competition (1 min. 5-26Hz + 5 min. 26Hz, 45° static squat). The control group used a standard warming up protocol on a cycling ergometer (1 min. 0-50W + 5 min. 50W). The Galileo group showed a decreased cardiovascular load but significant improved in flexibility (20%) and muscle function (knee torque extension +10%, flexion +8%)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 46: Can Galileo Training reduce Creatin Kinase after extensive endurance Training?

Posted by
This study tested the effect of Galileo Training on Creatine Kinase (CK) concentration after exhaustive endurance training. Both groups trained treadmill + 4x400 (HIIT) + 3km Time-Trial. The Galileo Group trained at 12Hz (5x60 sec. slight squats, 5x30 sec. sitting with feet on Galileo). 24 h after the intensive endurance training Creatine Kinase levels where reduced by 20% in the Galileo group compared to control...

Galileo Research Facts No. 35: Can Galileo Training increase jumping performance after only 10 days?

Posted by
The first Whole Body Vibration Training study ever, done with Galileo in 1998. It shows the effects of Galileo Training on Jumping performance in active handball and water polo players (26Hz, pos. 5, 5*2 min., 10 days, 1) forefoot 2) 45° squat 3) 90°squat 4/5) 90°squat one legged). Both groups performed additional 20 min. warmup and 5 min. jump training. Only the Galileo Training group showed jump improvements of up to 12%...
