Galileo Research Facts No. 151: Can Galileo Training make squats more efficient and more effective?
This study reported the short-term effects of Galileo Training on muscle activation and exhaustion (26Hz, 90° dynamic squats, Pos. 6, 40% body weight extra load, subjective exhaustion). The control group received identical exercises without Galileo. The Galileo groups showed higher training effects (increase lactate +205% instead of +160%) in significantly shorter time (349s instead of 515s) plus increased muscle activation...
Galileo Research Facts No. 146: Can exercises with extra loads and with Galileo Training at 40Hz be more effective than without?
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 isometric torque (up to +4%) and the speed indicator reactive ground contact time (-8%, Drop Jump)...
Galileo Research Facts No. 107: Can 3 weeks of Galileo Therapy improve power and endurance in COPD patients?
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. 100: Can squats in combination with Galileo Training be even more effective?
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...
