Galileo Research Facts No. 29: Can Galileo Training change muscle histology after only 12 training sessions?

Posted by
This study shows the changes of muscle histology and muscle function using exhaustive Galileo Training for athletes (25Hz, 2 sets squats until exhaustion (max. 3 min.) with 40% (start) to 80% (end) body weight extra load, pos. 3-4, 2/week, 6 week). The Galileo group increase muscle fiber cross-section by 95% (Type 2) and 23% (Type 1) and the 1 Repetition Maximum (1RM) by 25% (from 111kg to 141kg)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 28: Can Galileo Training compensate the negative effects of HIT on anaerobic power?

Posted by
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. 19: Can Galileo Training improve short-term leg-press Performance?

Posted by
This study tested the immediate effect of Galileo Training on one-legged leg-press performance (only 1 leg on Galileo, other leg as control, 10x1 min., 1. min. rest, 26Hz, pos. 4, one-legged on toes, knee angle 100°-110°). Comparison between trained and untrained leg immediately before and after the training. The Galileo Training leg improved velocity and power in the leg-press exercise almost independent of extra loads by almost 10%. ..

Galileo Research Facts No. 12: Can Galileo Training increase endurance?

Posted by
This study shows the effect of 16 Galileo Sessions (8 weeks, 30Hz, start 60% body weight, plus Occlusion) fro a group of young women compared to identical resistance training without vibration. The Galileo group increased the resistance by 85%, endurance by 57%, peak power on the ergometer by 9% (Wingate Rest); The resistance control group did not show a significant positive effect...

Galileo Research Facts No. 11: Can endurance athletes also gain with Galileo Training?

Posted by
This study shows the effect of 16 Galileo Sessions (8 weeks, 30Hz, start 70% 1RM, plus Occlusion) for cyclists and Triathletes compared to identical resistance training. The Galileo Group increased muscle mass at the thigh by 3%, type 1 fiber cross-section by 25%, type 2 fiber cross-section by 23%, capillarization by 8% with no significant effect in the resistance training control group...
