Galileo Research Facts No. 69: Can Galileo Training during 55 days bed rest improve muscle function?
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 in almost all. In many aspects of muscle function Galileo Training was most effective to compensate effects of bed rest in some aspects it could even improve function...

Galileo Research Facts No. 68: Can Galileo Training during 55 days bedrest improve long-term bone mass?
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 in almost all bone parameters improvements vs. control and e.g. in total hip BMC even vs. RE with improvements of up to +5.6% after half a year and still +3,7% after 2 years after bedrest...

Galileo Research Facts No. 67: Can 5 minutes Galileo Therapy increase brain activity and mobility in stroke patients?
This study evaluated the effects of Galilee Therapy on brain function (oxygenated Hemoglobin) and mobility in chronic stroke patients (Galileo Delta tilt table, 60° tilt, 20Hz, pos. 2, 5 min.). The Galileo groups showed more significant effects on mobility like the timed up & go test (+17%). Galileo Therapy also caused an increase of brain activity (Hemoglobin) with an increase of 600% directly after the Galileo Therapy...

Galileo Research Facts No. 66: Can Galileo Therapy increase mobility and balance in stroke patients?
This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on Balance and Mobility in stroke patients (Galileo Delta tilt-table, deep squat, 25Hz, pos. 2.5, 10 min., 5/week, 4 weeks). Both groups received additional 30 minutes of standard neuro-developmental therapy. The Galileo group showed significantly higher results with up to 30% improvement in times up & go tests and 32% improvement in the functional reach test...

Galileo Research Facts No. 65: Can 7 minutes Galileo Training change the hormonal profile?
Diese Studie untersuchte den Effekt von lediglich 7 * 60 Sekunden Galileo Training auf die Sprungleistung und Hormonantwort (7 * 60 Sek., 30Hz, Pos. 5, 90° Kniebeuge). Das Galileo Training erhöhte die Spitzenleistung und Spitzensprunghöhe bei wiederholten Sprüngen um bis zu 13% und reduzierte Testosteron und Cortisol um bis zu 27% und zeigte somit Reaktionen analog zu intensivstem Krafttraining...

Galileo Research Facts No. 64: Can 20 minutes Galileo Therapy decrease spasticity in Cerebral Palsy?
This study examined the immediate effect of 20 minutes Galileo Therapy (20Hz, pos. 2, 10 minutes, 30° squat) on ankle flexor spasticity in kids with Cerebral Palsy (CP, GMFCS level 1-4, age 3-14). Participants were separated into a knee flexion and a knee extension spasticity group. In average spasticity at the ankle joint was decreased by 55% and this effect lasted up to 3 hours after the end of the 20 minutes Galileo Therapy...

Galileo Research Fact Sheet No. 63: Can Galileo Therapy increase blood-flow in the legs of Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) patients?
This study reports increases in blood-flow during Galileo Therapy, electro-stimulation (ES) and Galileo Therapy + electro-stimulation (Galileo + ES) for spinal cord injury (SCI) patients (sitting in front of Galileo, 10Hz, pos. 2.5). As a result Galileo Therapy showed the largest effect (130% increase of blood-flow) which can be improved further in combination with ES to up to 250%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 62: Can Galileo Therapy reduce pain in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients?
This study reported the effects of pain reduction in patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) after 6 months of Galileo Therapy. The patients previously received at least 6 months of standard therapy without and improvements (18/22 Hz, pos. 4, 4x2 min., 3/week, 6 months, 4 different positions). The Galileo Therapy significantly reduced pressure pain at different muscle groups (upper back, neck, upper leg) by up to 40%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 61: Are 5 minutes Galileo Mano Training (dumbbell) an effective warm up Training?
This study reported the warming up effects of 5 minutes Galileo Mano Training (Galileo vibrating dumbbell) compared to static exercises and arm ergometer training (5*1 min, 26Hz, 5 Exercises). The control groups performed the exercises without vibration or used an arm ergometer (5 Min., 25 W, 25 rpm). Only the Galileo group showed significant improvements in EMG intensity and peak power output of up to 6%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 60: Can Galileo Training be more effective than traditional warm up exercises?
This study examined the warm up effects of Galileo Training in comparison to traditional warm up (cycling ergometer) and static exercises (5 min., 26Hz, pos. 3, 5 exercises). The control groups used identical exercises without vibration and traditional cycling ergometer (5 min. 50 W, 50 rpm). Only the Galileo Groups showed significant improvements for jumping height and flexibility (sit & reach) of more than 8%...
