Galileo Research Facts No. 75: Can Galileo Therapy increase force in Osteoarthritis patients?

Diese Studie untersuchte die Effekte von Galileo Therapie auf die isometrische This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on maximum isometric force of the more effected leg in osteoarthritis patients (arthritis of the knee). The Galileo Therapy was performed in a slight squat (30°), pos. 3, 18-24Hz (slow increase over time) over a period of 8 weeks twice a week for 3*2 minutes with a 2 minutes warm-up using Galileo at 12 to 14Hz. Two control groups were used one without intervention and one using standard strength training (2 times per week 45 minutes). The Galileo Therapy group showed the highest improvements of isometric force of 25%.

Just like other Galileo studies (#GRFS174, #GRFS131, #GRFS118, #GRFS107) this study once more shows the efficiency of Galileo Therapy – larger effects than traditional strength training in less than half the training time!
