This study documented the effects of 3 month of Galileo Training in elderly women (age 66 to 78) with higher fall-risk on balance and flexibility. The control group did not receive any additional training. The Galileo group received only 3 minutes at 20Hz (pos. 1) in a very simple upright standing position 3 times per week over 3 months.
Even though the group was obviously in a deconditioned state this training intensity can be considered as not very demanding. Despite the low training intensity, the Galileo Groups showed a significant improvement in Balance (+20%), Flexibility (+23%) and angular movement velocity (+54%).
A little bit more intensive training using slightly higher frequencies (>25Hz, #GRFS123, #GRFS109, #GRFS23, #GRFS22, #GRFS21, #GRFS4, #GRFS3) and a deeper squatting position would have focused the training on the hip surrounding muscles and therefore would have been favorable to decrease fall-risk. Nevertheless, this study shows a typical effect of Galileo training: at any of the three frequencies ranges (#GIS1) there is always also a training effect on Balance which becomes more effective when the user tries not to hold on to the handle bar…
