Galileo Research Facts No. 119: Can squats with Galileo Training be more intense than squats without?

Posted by
This study investigates the effects of exhaustive squats with and without Galileo Training on blood Lactate levels (5*10 Sets deep squats, with & without Galileo Training, 22Hz, pos. 4, extra weight: 10 repetition maximum = 60% Body mass). Compared to the control group without vibration the Galileo Group could double training intensity (+100%) measured by blood lactate values...

Galileo Research Facts No. 111 Does muscle activation during Galileo Training increase with amplitude?

Posted by
This study tested muscle activation (EMG) of different muscles of the leg at different amplitudes and frequen-cies (5..30Hz) (pos. 2.5 vs. pos. 5, slightly flexed legs). It showed that higher amplitudes (pos. 5) can increase muscle activation by up to 2.75 times compared to low amplitudes (pos. 2.5). Therefore the amplitude is an easy way to adjust the intensity of Galileo Training. (On Galileo the position is equivalent to amplitude in mm)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 109: Can high frequencies increase muscle activation during Galileo Training?

Posted by
This study tested muscle activation (EMG) of different muscles of the leg at different frequencies between 5 and 30Hz (pos. 5, slightly flexed legs). It showed that high frequencies (25-30Hz) can increase muscle activation by up to 5.5 times compared to low frequencies at 5Hz. Therefore Galileo Training targeting muscle hypertrophy and muscle power should be using high frequencies above 20 Hz to increase muscle activation...

Galileo Research Facts No. 108: Can Galileo Training improve jump height?

Posted by
This study documented the effects of Galileo Training on jump height in young individuals (26Hz, pos.3, increasing intensity, extra loading up to 75% body weight, 3-5 min, 2/week, 5.5 months). The control groups received no training (control) or conventional strength-training (conventional). Even though the Galileo group had the shorter training session it showed significantly higher results with up to 17% increase of jump height...

Galileo Research Facts No. 105: Can Galileo Training decrease Spinal Excitability even in micro-gravity?

Posted by
This study tested the effects of Galileo Training in micro-gravity conditions (parabolic flights). The muscle activation (EMG) and the Spinal Excitability (sensitivity of reflexes reacting on an external stimulus) was assessed with and without Galileo Training (25Hz) in normal gravity (1g) and micro-gravity (micro g). The results prove that Galileo Training can significantly decrease Spinal Excitability even in micro-gravity...

Galileo Research Facts No. 104: Can Galileo Training be used in space?

Posted by
This study tested the feasibility of Galileo Training in micro-gravity conditions as well as the effects on Microgravity on Galileo Training effects. The EMG activity was assessed with and without Galileo Training in Combination with normal gravity as well as micro gravity. The results show that the effects of Galileo Training on EMG activation is not significantly altered by micro-gravity and that Galileo is feasible under micro gravity...

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. 81: Can Galileo Training improve blood flow and exhaust the muscles?

Posted by
This study reported the effects of Galileo Training at high frequencies on blood flow and NO concentration in 58-83 year old individuals (26Hz, pos. 2, 30°-40° squat, 10x30s, 60s rest). The control group performed identical exercises without vibration. The Galileo groups showed significant improvements of blood flow during the training (+15%) and significant increase of NO concentration 5 minutes after the exercise (+43%)...

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%)...
