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. 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. 106: Can 8 weeks of Galileo Therapy decrease inflammation markers?

Posted by
This case study reported the results of Galileo Therapy in a patient with Anti-Jo-1-Syndrome (auto-immune disease) on inflammation markers like CK, IL-8 and TNF-alpha (26Hz, pos. 2, 6*2 min. + 12 Hz, 3min. cool-down, week, 2 months). Additional therapy was not changed during this time. The results show a significant decrease of the inflammation makers CK, IL-8 and TNF-alpha after 8 weeks by up to 61%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 103: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle mass and bone mass in OI patients?

Posted by
This study documented the effects of Galileo Training in children with OI (Osteogenesis Imperfecta) during the Cologne therapy concept “auf die Beine” on muscle and bone mass (10-20Hz, patient individual exercises, 10*15min./week, 6 months + 6 months follow-up). The results show a growth effect corrected significant increase in muscle mass (legs up to 14%) and bone mass (leg up to 31%)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 102: Can Galileo Therapy improve balance in Fibromyalgia patients?

Posted by
This study investigates the effects of Galileo Therapy on balance in Fibromyalgia patients (12,5Hz, 6* 30-60sec., 3/week, 12 weeks). Both groups received standard physiotherapy. The control group received no additional therapy. While the control group decreased in many tested parameters of balance ability by up to 20% the Galileo Therapy group improved by up to 47%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 101: Does Galileo Training trigger a stretch-reflex with each upwards movement of the platform?

Posted by
This study proved that Galileo Training triggers a stretch reflex with each upwards movement of the platform. It also proved that the EMG signal corresponding to the vibration frequency is not a motion artifact but an actual activation of the corresponding muscle. The measured latency is therefore not dependent on the vibration frequency but on the individual and is identical with the latency caused by one single tilt movement...

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. 98: Can Galileo Therapy at work decrease subjective back pain?

Posted by
This study documented the effects of workplace-based Galileo Therapy on subjective back pain in individuals with chronic lower-back pain (10-30Hz, slightly bent legs, pos. 1-3, 15 min., 2-3/weeks, 3 months). The control group received no therapy. While the control group slightly decreased the Galileo Therapy group improved by up to 4.5% and showed a tendency to decrease days of sick-leave per month...

Galileo Research Facts No. 97: Can Galileo Training at higher frequencies improve balance and flexibility in the elderly?

Posted by
This study showed the effects of Galileo Training on balance and flexibility in elderly women (66-78) with increased fall-risk (20Hz, pos. 2, standing, 3 min., 3/week, 3 months). The control group did not train at all. The control group showed significant improvements in balance (+20%), flexibility (+23%) and movement angular velocity which improved by 54% in average...
