Galileo Research Facts No. 135: Can exercises with extra loads and with Galileo Training at 40Hz be more effective than without?
This study investigated the effects of squats and heel raises with extra loads on muscle function and cross-section with and without Galileo Training at 40Hz (20-40Hz, pos. 3-4, loads 80% 1RM (80kg), 3x8 squats (4 sec.), 3x12 heel raises, 6 weeks, 16 Sessions). The Galileo Group showed higher training effects with increases of muscle cross-section (up to +7%) and the speed indicator reactive ground contact time (-8%, Drop Jump)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 134: Can Galileo Therapy in Ataxia patients improve blood-flow and muscle activation?
This study investigated the immediate effects of Galileo Therapy with different frequencies and durations on muscle activation (EMG) and blood-flow (Galileo Delta, 45° tilt, 60° knee flexion, pos. 2.5, 10, 20, 30Hz, 1*3 vs. 3*1 min., 6 session/2 weeks). High frequencies (30Hz) during Galileo Delta Therapy showed higher effects on blood-flow (+33%), exertion (96%) and EMG Frequency (55%) compared to lower frequencies (10Hz)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 133: Can Galileo Training increase muscle tissue oxygenation more effectively than squatting?
This study investigated the immediate effects of Galileo Training on muscle tissue oxygenation and blood per-fusion (25Hz, 3 min., pos.2-3, 30° squats). The control group received squats (3 min, 12/min.) with additional weights matched to the VO2 values of the Galileo group. The Galileo group showed significantly higher muscle oxygenation of up to 2.4 times (+140%) starting right after the beginning and lasting longer than the exercise...

Galileo Research Facts No. 132: Can Galileo Therapy increase muscle power and decrease fall risk in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients?
This pilot study reported the effects of Galileo Therapy on fall risk and muscle power in MS (multiple sclerosis) patients (20Hz, pos. 1.5, slightly flexed legs (20°), 5*1 min., 3/week, 8 weeks). Just 5 minutes Galileo Therapy 3 times per week showed decreased fall-risk and significantly improved balance (+12%), muscle function and muscle Power (+12%) as well as knee torque at flexor (+12) and extensor (15%)...

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. 130 Can Galileo Therapy improve the motoric function in kids with Cerebral Palsy (CP)?
This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy in children with CP (Cerebral Palsy) and other neuro-muscular conditions within the Cologne therapy concept “auf die Beine” on motoric function and bone mass (10-20Hz, patient individual exercises, 10*15min./week, 6 months + 6 months follow-up). The Galileo Therapy showed an improvement of bone mass by +6,5% and of different aspects of motoric function of up to +35%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 129: Can squats with Galileo Training be more effective for warm-up than without Galileo?
This study documented the effects of Galileo Training in combination with squats on muscle temperature. Dynamic as well as static squats with and without Galileo were tested (26Hz, Pos. 3). The Galileo groups showed significant higher warming-up effects concerning muscle temperature with increases compared to the control group with +43% and +87%, showing that Galileo Training can be very effectively used for warm-up...

Galileo Research Facts No. 128: Can Galileo Therapy improve Gait Parameters in Stroke patients significantly?
This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy in combination with treadmill therapy on gait parameters in stroke patients (20-30Hz, 4*45sec., 3/week, 6 weeks, 6 different exercises). The control group received treadmill therapy without Galileo (20Min./session). In all reported functional outcome parameters the effects in combination with Galileo Therapy were up to factor 3.25 (+225%) higher than treadmill therapy only...

Galileo Research Facts No. 127: Can Galileo Training during 55 days bedrest improve long-term bone mass at the spine?
In the 2nd Berlin Bedrest Study (BBR2) the effects of Galileo Training against the expected bone loss was tested (55 days, 24Hz, 6x1 min. exhaustive, 3/week). The control groups receive no training or identical training with-out vibration (RE). Galileo showed compared to the control groups increased trabecular bone density at the spine (L1-L3) even 2 years after the active bedrest phase with maximum improvements of up to +12%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 126: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle function and muscle cross-section in Cystic Fibrosis?
This study investigated the effects of 6 months of Galileo Therapy on muscle function and cross-section in Cystic Fibrosis patients (12Hz, 6min., 5/week (flexibility) + 26Hz 3/week (muscle power)). The Galileo group showed in average an improvement in muscle cross-section (+5,5%), muscle function (jump height +6,1%) as well as movement efficiency (decrease of used muscle force -4,3% but increase in muscle power +4,7%)...
