Galileo Research Facts No. 139: Can Galileo Training be more effective to prevent bone-loss than strength training?

This study investigated the short-term effects of Galileo Training vs. strength training on bone resorption markers (XTC). The control group received intensive strength training (6 exercises, 2*10 repetitions, 80% 1RM) the Galileo group received Galileo only (20Hz, 5 * 1 min., pos. 2, 30° squats). The Galileo group showed a significant reduction in bone resorption markers (CTX) by up to 21% (factor 3 compared to control)…

Galileo Research Facts No. 131: Can Galileo Training cause a sustainable improvement of torque at the knee?

This study documented the effects of Galileo Training and concentric, eccentric and isometric knee torque in physical active young women (25Hz, pos.3, 2*5 min., 10° flexed legs, 5/week, 3 weeks). The control group continued their usual weekly training. The Galileo group received Galileo Training only. The Galileo group showed an improvement of knee torque by up to 16%. This effects was sustained even after 3 weeks (+7%)…

Galileo Research Facts No. 121: Can Galileo Training increase muscle function and balance at the same time?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Training on muscle function an balance in women age 52 to 60 (15-25Hz, 6 exercises, extra loads up to 30% body weight, pos.1-3, 35 min., 3/week, 12 weeks). The conventional group received identical exercises without vibration. The Galileo group showed identical results on muscle function but significantly higher results on all tested balance test with improvements o up to 61%…

Galileo Research Facts No. 115: Can Galileo Training improve trunk flexibility and torque (force) of the knee?

This study documented the effects of Galileo Training on flexibility and concentric knee torque in physical active young women (25Hz, pos.3, 2*5 min., 10° flexed legs, 5/week, 3 weeks). The control group continued their weekly training. The Galileo group received Galileo Training only and no other training. The Galileo group could improve concentric knee torque by up to 8% and flexibility (Sit & Reach Test) by 13%…

Galileo Research Facts No. 113: Can Galileo Training be effective to increase muscle power older people?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Training on muscle power in older community-dwelling adults ager 61 to 77 (15-25Hz, pos. 1, 70° knee-angle, 5*1min., 3/week, 6 weeks, increasing intensity). The control group did not perform any additional training. The Galileo group improved muscle power significantly, measured by the Timed Up & Go Test, (+12%) and using the Sit to Stand Test (+20%)…

Galileo Research Facts No. 108: Can Galileo Training improve jump height?

This study documented the effects of Galileo Training on jump height in young individuals (26Hz, pos.3, increasing intensity, extra loading up to 75% body weight, 3-5 min, 2/week, 5.5 months). The control groups received no training (control) or conventional strength-training (conventional). Even though the Galileo group had the shorter training session it showed significantly higher results with up to 17% increase of jump height…

Galileo Research Facts No. 97: Can Galileo Training at higher frequencies improve balance and flexibility in the elderly?

This study showed the effects of Galileo Training on balance and flexibility in elderly women (66-78) with increased fall-risk (20Hz, pos. 2, standing, 3 min., 3/week, 3 months). The control group did not train at all. The control group showed significant improvements in balance (+20%), flexibility (+23%) and movement angular velocity which improved by 54% in average…

Galileo Research Facts No. 79: Can Galileo Training reduce fall-risk and fracture-risk in elderly?

This study investigated the effects of 8 weeks of Galileo Training on mobility, muscle power, fall- and fracture-risk and bone parameters (age 60-80, 20Hz, pos. 3, 20° squat, 5*1min, 3/week, 8 weeks). Galileo Training improved balance (Berg Balance Scale, BBS) by 8%, muscle power (CRT) by 28%, increased flexibility (range of motion) by up to 50% and increased the Calcaneus bone quality by 0.3 SD…

Galileo Research Facts No. 54: Can Galileo Training using deep squats effectively reduce fall risk and improve balance in elderly?

This study reports the effect of 6 months of Galileo Training with and without deep squatting on balance, gait and fall risk in 68 – 79 year old (20Hz, 4 min., 2/week, 6 months). Both groups received Galileo Training, group 1 using static squats at 45° knee angle, group 2 used slow dynamic squats between 45° and 60°. Group 2 improved function in average by 30% more than group 1 with improvements in Balance of 40%…

Galileo Research Facts No. 43: Can Galileo Training improve balance?

This study examined the effect of Galileo Training on balance in women between 39 and 48 (15-25Hz, pos. 1-3, deep squat, 15 min., 3/week, 9 weeks, increasing intensity). The control group did not perform any specific training. After the 9 weeks of intervention Galileo Training showed a significant increase in balance which improved about another 100% 14 days after the end of the intervention…
