Galileo Research Facts No. 141: Can Galileo Training be more effective and more efficient than traditional stretching?

Posted by
This study documented the immediate effects of Galileo Training one force development, torque and range of motion (ROM) (26Hz, 5x60s, stretching of ankle). The control group performed identical exercises without Galileo Mechanostimulation. The Galileo group showed increase stretching effects (+38%) and a significant increase in torque (Platarflexion) by +18%, and an increased force development at lower ankle angles (-7°)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 140: Can Galileo Therapy increase muscle force and decrease fall-risk in young obese?

Posted by
This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on muscle force and fall-risk in young obese patients (26Hz, pos. 2, 20° squat, 5x60s., 3/week, 6 weeks). The control group performed identical exercises without Galileo. The Galileo group showed significantly higher effects than the control group for example on muscle strength (extensor torque increase by +6%) as well as reduction of fall-risk and fall-rate by -68%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 139: Can Galileo Training be more effective to prevent bone-loss than strength training?

Posted by
This study investigated the short-term effects of Galileo Training vs. strength training on bone resorption markers (XTC). The control group received intensive strength training (6 exercises, 2*10 repetitions, 80% 1RM) the Galileo group received Galileo only (20Hz, 5 * 1 min., pos. 2, 30° squats). The Galileo group showed a significant reduction in bone resorption markers (CTX) by up to 21% (factor 3 compared to control)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 138: Can Galileo Therapy decrease the development of Scoliosis?

Posted by
This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on the development of Scoliosis. The control group received Schroth-therapy (daily home-based + 2/week physiotherapy). The Galileo group only received Galileo Therapy (4 exercises, 4*3 min., 10-15Hz, 5/week, 6 months). Compared to the control group the Galileo group showed a significant decrease in the scoliosis extent (Cobb-angle) by up to 6% (2.5°)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 137: Can Galileo Training be more effective and efficient for warm-up than ergometer training?

Posted by
This study investigated the warm-up effects of Galileo Training on muscle temperature, power and the training duration. Passive warm-up in a water bath (legs at 41°C), standard ergometer training (10 min., 70W) and Galileo Training (26Hz, Pos.3,10°-90° 6s slow dynamic squats, 5min.) where compared. The results showed that Galileo Training had higher effects on muscle power (ergometer) in a shorter time (52% of ergometer)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 136: Can Galileo Therapy improve quality of life (QOL) in Fibromyalgia patients?

Posted by
This study reported the effects of Galileo Therapy on health related quality of life (HRQOL) in Fibromyalgia patients (12.5Hz, 6x30-60s., 3/week, 12 weeks). Both groups received additional standard therapy, the Galileo group additional Galileo Therapy. While the control groups showed a decrease in health related quality of life (FIQ) by up to 7% the Galileo group showed an improvement with an over-all difference of up to 11%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 135: Can exercises with extra loads and with Galileo Training at 40Hz be more effective than without?

Posted by
This study investigated the effects of squats and heel raises with extra loads on muscle function and cross-section with and without Galileo Training at 40Hz (20-40Hz, pos. 3-4, loads 80% 1RM (80kg), 3x8 squats (4 sec.), 3x12 heel raises, 6 weeks, 16 Sessions). The Galileo Group showed higher training effects with increases of muscle cross-section (up to +7%) and the speed indicator reactive ground contact time (-8%, Drop Jump)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 134: Can Galileo Therapy in Ataxia patients improve blood-flow and muscle activation?

Posted by
This study investigated the immediate effects of Galileo Therapy with different frequencies and durations on muscle activation (EMG) and blood-flow (Galileo Delta, 45° tilt, 60° knee flexion, pos. 2.5, 10, 20, 30Hz, 1*3 vs. 3*1 min., 6 session/2 weeks). High frequencies (30Hz) during Galileo Delta Therapy showed higher effects on blood-flow (+33%), exertion (96%) and EMG Frequency (55%) compared to lower frequencies (10Hz)...

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...
