Galileo Research Facts No. 68: Can Galileo Training during 55 days bedrest improve long-term bone mass?
In the 2nd Berlin Bedrest Study (BBR2) the effects of Galileo Training against the expected bone loss was tested (55 days, 24Hz, 6x1 min. exhaustive, 3/week). The control groups receive no training or identical training with-out vibration (RE). Galileo showed in almost all bone parameters improvements vs. control and e.g. in total hip BMC even vs. RE with improvements of up to +5.6% after half a year and still +3,7% after 2 years after bedrest...
