Galileo Research Facts No. 29: Can Galileo Training change muscle histology after only 12 training sessions?
This study shows the changes of muscle histology and muscle function using exhaustive Galileo Training for athletes (25Hz, 2 sets squats until exhaustion (max. 3 min.) with 40% (start) to 80% (end) body weight extra load, pos. 3-4, 2/week, 6 week). The Galileo group increase muscle fiber cross-section by 95% (Type 2) and 23% (Type 1) and the 1 Repetition Maximum (1RM) by 25% (from 111kg to 141kg)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 28: Can Galileo Training compensate the negative effects of HIT on anaerobic power?
This study used Galileo Training in rest phases between High Intensity Training (HIT) intervals to reduce loss of anaerobic power (20 Sessions HIT, HIT+18Hz/HIT+30Hz, 3 min., pos. 3, knees half bent). Galileo Training during rest phases could compensate the HIT associated loss of anaerobic power and MyHC-2x fiber cross-sectional area completely. Galileo Training at 18 Hz showed about 20% higher effects than training at 30Hz...

Galileo Research Facts No. 27: Can Galileo Training reduce back-pain and fall-risk at the same time?
Diese Studie untersucht ob Galileo Therapie bei Patienten mit chronischem Rückenschmerz diesen und das Sturzrisiko reduzieren sowie die Balance verbessern kann (18 Hz, 5 Min., 2/Woche, 12 Wochen, leicht gebeugte Knie, Pos. 2). Die Kontrollgruppe führte umfangreiche Rückengymnastik durch. Die Galileo Gruppe verbesserte sich deutlich (Verbesserung Sturzindex 58%, Schmerz-Skala 52%) bei kürzerer Therapiedauer...

Galileo Research Facts No. 26: Can Galileo Training improve muscle power significantly even in the aged?
This study tested the effect of Galileo Therapy on muscle power using the chair rising test for geriatric out-patients (age 61-85, 27 Hz, bent knees, 3*2 minutes, 3 per week, 8 weeks). The Galileo Therapy group decreased chair rising time in average by 18% (in 34 patients improvement of up to 36%) the control group of the cross-over designed study did not show any significant changes...

Galileo Research Facts No. 25: Can 15 minutes Galileo Therapy per week decrease back-pain effectively?
This study tested the effect of Galileo Therapy on subjective back-pain (18 Hz, position 3, 7 minutes, 2/week, 12 weeks, hip-tilting in standing). The control group performed lumbar extension exercises, sit-ups and Leg-Press on different exercise-devices. Galileo Therapy reduced the subjective back-pain by 67% (Visual Analog Scale, P-VAS). The control group showed comparable results but needed much more time.

Galileo Research Facts No. 23: Is oxygen uptake during Galileo Training independent from frequency and Amplitude?
This study reports the influence of frequency and amplitude during Galileo Training on the oxygen uptake (1 min., 18-34Hz, position 1.5 to 3.5, active standing at 170°). The results show that with increasing frequency and amplitude oxygen consumption during Galileo Training can be increased up to 170%. The effect of higher increasing frequencies dominated the effect of increasing amplitude...

Galileo Research Facts No. 22: Does oxygen uptake during Galileo Training increase with frequency and extra loading?
This study tested the influence of frequency and extra loading during Galileo Training on the oxygen uptake (1 min., 18Hz and 34Hz, position 2.5, active standing at 170°, extra loading 40% of lean body mass). The results show that with increasing frequency and increasing extra loading Galileo Training can increase oxygen uptake by up to 260%.

Galileo Research Facts No. 21: Does blood-flow during Galileo Training increase with frequency and Amplitude?
This study reports the influence of frequency and amplitude during Galileo Training on the blood-flow (1 min., 5-30Hz, position 2.5 and 4.5, static squatting). The results show that with increasing frequency and increasing amplitude blood-flow velocity during Galileo Training can be increased by 220% to 420%.

Galileo Research Facts No. 20: Can Galileo Training increase blood flow?
This study reports the immediate effect of Galileo Training on blood flow (26Hz, Pos. 2, 3 minutes, slow squatting, additional weights +35% to +40% of body mass). Control group: Cycling ergometer, 3 min., 50W. In the Galileo Training group blood flow at the foot and calf increase between 120% and 150%. At the same time the cardiovascular reaction is significantly smaller than in cycling ergometer training. ..
