The real birth of Galileo Training: Healthy aging fur muscle, neurologic system and bone – once more this study shows what even a low dose of Galileo Training can achieve in just 8 weeks. In this case 60- to 80-year-old were trained at 20Hz with a 20° squat 5 times 1 minute, 3 times per week of 8 weeks.
The results show a significant improvement in balance, mobility, fear of falling and muscle function/muscle power – but also an increase in bone density (+0.3 SD T-Score at the calcaneus – however these bone parameters need to be interpreted carefully, because the used measurement technique was ultrasound at the heel…). Other Galileo studies did show similar positive effects on balance as well as fall and fracture risk (#GRFS121, #GRFS113, #GRFS97, #GRFS54).
Nevertheless, the results are remarkable when considering that this study was designed as a safety study which used low intensity Galileo Training – using higher intensity (e.g. deep squat at higher frequencies >25Hz) would have caused even higher effects.
