This study compares forces within the knee and hip during Galileo Training and during normal walking. The measurements were done in-vivo with individuals who had artificial knee and hip implants with built-in force sensors. The graph shows forces per leg in g (as multiples of body weight). It proves that even for intensive training at high frequencies and amplitudes Galileo Training causes smaller internal joint forces than walking.   							
		
										
							Galileo Research Fact Sheet No. 6: Are joint forces during Galileo Training higher than during vertical vibration?
									This study compares muscle activation of the legs (EMG) of Galileo Training compared to vertical vibration (30Hz and 2mm amplitude). Compared to vertical vibration Galileo Training results in up to 150% higher additional activation of the muscle using identical amplitude and frequency (100% equivalent to standing)...  							
		
										
							Galileo Research Facts No. 4: Does muscle activation increase with knee angle and additional loads?
									This study tested the activation (EMG) of the leg muscles at different training frequencies, knee angles and additional loads of 30% body mass. It showed that squats cause significantly higher muscle activation which can be further increased by using additional loads. This way muscle activation can be tripled (+210%)...  							
		
										
							Galileo Reserach Facts No. 3: Do high frequencies cause more muscle activation?
									This study tested muscle activation (EMG) of different leg muscles at different training frequencies between 5Hz and 30Hz. Is showed that high training frequencies (25-30Hz) lead to up to 4 times (+300%) higher muscle activation than low frequencies (5-10Hz). Muscle strength training should therefore be done at frequencies of 25 Hz and higher...  							
		
										
							Galileo Research Facts No. 2: Is Galileo Training more effective for muscle activation than vertical vibration?
									This study compares muscle activation of the legs (EMG) of Galileo Training compared to vertical vibration (30Hz and 2mm amplitude). Compared to vertical vibration Galileo Training results in up to 150% higher additional activation of the muscle using identical amplitude and frequency (100% equivalent to standing)...
