Galileo Research Facts No. 150: Can exhaustive Galileo Therapy be used safely even in heart transplant patients?

Posted by
This study reported the effects of Galileo Therapy on cardiovascular parameters in patients after heart trans-plant (4 months post and longer) (26Hz, pos. 1.5, 70° squat). All patients received additional cardiovascular exercises on a cycling ergometers (av. Heart-rate 118Hz). The results showed that exhaustive Galileo Therapy even at higher frequencies (26Hz) has only a moderate effect on the cardiovascular system.

Galileo Research Facts No. 147: Can Galileo Training compensate the effects of bedrest on the Bone Marrow Fat-Fraction?

Posted by
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). Compared to both control groups, the Galileo group showed a decrease in vertebra bone marrow fat fraction and in increase in number of red blood cells - both are related to increased endurance...

Galileo Research Facts No. 133: Can Galileo Training increase muscle tissue oxygenation more effectively than squatting?

Posted by
This study investigated the immediate effects of Galileo Training on muscle tissue oxygenation and blood per-fusion (25Hz, 3 min., pos.2-3, 30° squats). The control group received squats (3 min, 12/min.) with additional weights matched to the VO2 values of the Galileo group. The Galileo group showed significantly higher muscle oxygenation of up to 2.4 times (+140%) starting right after the beginning and lasting longer than the exercise...

Galileo Research Facts No. 128: Can Galileo Therapy improve Gait Parameters in Stroke patients significantly?

Posted by
This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy in combination with treadmill therapy on gait parameters in stroke patients (20-30Hz, 4*45sec., 3/week, 6 weeks, 6 different exercises). The control group received treadmill therapy without Galileo (20Min./session). In all reported functional outcome parameters the effects in combination with Galileo Therapy were up to factor 3.25 (+225%) higher than treadmill therapy only...

Galileo Research Facts No. 124: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle force and endurance in COPD-patients?

Posted by
This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy in COPD patients. (6-24Hz, 3*3 min., progressive, 150° squat, pos.2-3, 2/week, 3 months, +15 min. warmup+cool-down). The control group received Calisthenics exercises (2*30 min./week). While the control group did not show any significant changes that Galileo group showed highly significant improvements in muscle force and endurance with up to +38% (leg press, 1RM)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 107: Can 3 weeks of Galileo Therapy improve power and endurance in COPD patients?

Posted by
This pilot study examined the effects of 3 weeks of Galileo Therapy on muscle power and endurance measured by 6 minutes walk test in COPD in-patients. (25Hz, squat, 4*2 min. 5/week, 3 weeks). The control group received identical therapy without Galileo. The Galileo group showed a highly significant improvement in the walking distance by 23% or 68m which is equivalent to over two times the MCID...

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. 71: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle function and pain in chronic fatigue syndrome patients?

Posted by
This study investigated the effects of 6 months of Galileo Therapy in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) patients on muscle function and pain (8-22Hz, pos. 4, 4*4 min., 3/week, 4 exercises: tip-toe, squat, 1-leg squat). Galileo Therapy showed significant improvement in muscle function of upper body and legs of up to 84% as well as in visual analog scale (VAS) score for mood, pain, fatigue and quality of life of up to 67%...

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...
