Galileo Research Facts No. 124: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle force and endurance in COPD-patients?
This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy in COPD patients. (6-24Hz, 3*3 min., progressive, 150° squat, pos.2-3, 2/week, 3 months, +15 min. warmup+cool-down). The control group received Calisthenics exercises (2*30 min./week). While the control group did not show any significant changes that Galileo group showed highly significant improvements in muscle force and endurance with up to +38% (leg press, 1RM)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 123: Can Galileo Training during squats increase muscle activation with each repetition?
This study investigates the effects of exhaustive squats with and without Galileo Training on muscle activation (EMG) (5*10 Sets deep squats, with & without Galileo Training, 22Hz, pos. 4, extra weight: 10RM = 60% Body mass). Compared to the control group without vibration the Galileo Group could almost triple muscle activation (+196%) during eight repetitions...

Galileo Research Facts No. 122: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle function and muscle mass in OI patients?
This study documented the effects of Galileo Training in children with OI (Osteogenesis Imperfecta) during the Cologne therapy concept “auf die Beine” on muscle function and muscle mass (10-20Hz, patient individual exercises, 10*15min./week, 6 months + 6 months follow-up). The results showed a significant growth corrected increase of muscle mass (+7%), an significant increase of leg force (+7%) and of the GMFM66 (+9%)...

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. 120: Can Galileo Therapy increase muscle and lung function in Cystic Fibrosis patients?
This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on lung and muscle function of adult Cystic Fibrosis patients (age 24-47, 20-25Hz, pos. 1, 10*3 min./week, 3 months). The results showed that Galileo Therapy could significantly improve lung function (+5%) and muscle function e.g. in the chair rising test (CRT) in muscle power (+16%) and muscle force (+34%)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 119: Can squats with Galileo Training be more intense than squats without?
This study investigates the effects of exhaustive squats with and without Galileo Training on blood Lactate levels (5*10 Sets deep squats, with & without Galileo Training, 22Hz, pos. 4, extra weight: 10 repetition maximum = 60% Body mass). Compared to the control group without vibration the Galileo Group could double training intensity (+100%) measured by blood lactate values...

Galileo Research Facts No. 118: Can Galileo Therapy + HRT be more effective for bone density than strength training + HRT?
This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy vs. machine based strength training over a period of 1 year (60 min./week) (25Hz, Pos. 3-4, up to 15kg add. weights). Both received hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The control group received strength training at 6 different strength machines (Schnell). The Galileo group showed especially in combination with HRT significant higher effects with up to 3,7% increase aBMD...

Galileo Research Facts No. 117: Can posture variation during Galileo Training decrease vibration transmission to the head?
This study documented the influence of posture during Galileo Training on the transmission of vibration to the head (25Hz, Pos. 3). The transmission of vibrations to the head was measured at 5 different postures (#1: upright, #2: 20° flexed legs,… #5: 20° flexed legs + special shoulder and neck position). The results show that posture and especially flexed legs can decrease vibration transmission by up to 65%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 116: Can high frequency Galileo Therapy improve blood-flow in spinal cord injury?
This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on blood-flow in spinal cord injury (SCI, ASIA A) patients. They received Galileo Therapy on a Galileo Delta tilt-table (45° tilt, 10-30Hz, pos. 2.5, 60° flexed knees, 3 min., then 2 min. test, blood-flow was measured using ultrasound Doppler). The blood flow improved significantly with increasing frequency and time by up to 54% compared to rest (also at 45° tilt)...

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%...
