Galileo Research Facts No. 143: Can Galileo Training over a period of 12 weeks increase bone density at the spine?

This study investigated the effects of 12 weeks of Galileo Training on bone density at the spine and bone formation markers in physical active college students (age 18 to 23). The control group did not receive any additional exercises but only the usual weekly training. The Galileo group received 3 times per week additional Galileo Training at Frequencies between 15 and 26Hz. The protocol was set up with increasing intensity between 5 and 15 minutes effective training time per session. 6 different exercises where used: upright standing, squats, deadlifts, lunges, hold (static) push-ups, bent over rows and jumps (all exercises without additional loads).

While the control group despite physical activity did loose bone density at the spine by up to 1.7& the Galileo group could increase their bone density at the spine by up to 2.7% (When including the losses of the control group the training effect was therefore equivalent to a gain of 5.4%!). This is a quite remarkable outcome, considering that young health men show typically a maximum bone acquisition (e.g. after bedrest studies #BBR1, #BBR2, #GRFS45, #GRFS127) ) of only a few percent per year! Diese Studie zeigt einmal mehr (wie auch schon andere Galileo StudienThis study once more shows (like other Galileo studies GRFS139, #GRFS45, GRFS127) how effective Galileo Training can be used to increase bone parameters like bone density.
