Galileo Research Facts No. 12: Can Galileo Training increase endurance?
This study shows the effect of 16 Galileo Sessions (8 weeks, 30Hz, start 60% body weight, plus Occlusion) fro a group of young women compared to identical resistance training without vibration. The Galileo group increased the resistance by 85%, endurance by 57%, peak power on the ergometer by 9% (Wingate Rest); The resistance control group did not show a significant positive effect...

Galileo Research Facts No. 11: Can endurance athletes also gain with Galileo Training?
This study shows the effect of 16 Galileo Sessions (8 weeks, 30Hz, start 70% 1RM, plus Occlusion) for cyclists and Triathletes compared to identical resistance training. The Galileo Group increased muscle mass at the thigh by 3%, type 1 fiber cross-section by 25%, type 2 fiber cross-section by 23%, capillarization by 8% with no significant effect in the resistance training control group...

Galileo Research Facts No. 10: Can Galileo Training increase jumping height in older individuals?
This study investigated the effect of Galileo Training on jumping height in 45 to 63 year old individuals. They performed 12 training session at 30 Hz within 6 weeks. As a result jumping height increased by almost 20% while there was no significant change in the control group. The authors therefore suggested Galileo Training as an alternative to standard strength training methods...

Galileo Research Facts No. 9: Can Galileo Training reduce Back Pain?
This study examines the influence of a12 week Galileo Therapy intervention on Back Pain (slighly bent knees, 30Hz, 6 min., 2/week). Different standardized questionnaires were used (Roland Morris, Oswerty, VAS visual analog scale for Back Pain) to quantify Back Pain. The results showed that Galileo Therapy can significantly decreases Back Pain by up to 25%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 8: Can Galileo Training activate muscles of the back?
This study examines the activation (EMG) of different muscles of the back during Galileo Training at different knee angles. It shows that Galileo activates the muscles of the back up to 18% higher than just standing in the same position. Muscles of the back were activated up to 27% of the maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). Galileo Training therefore significantly increases muscle activation of the back...

Galileo Research Facts No. 7: Does Galileo Training cause high joint forces?
This study compares forces within the knee and hip during Galileo Training and during normal walking. The measurements were done in-vivo with individuals who had artificial knee and hip implants with built-in force sensors. The graph shows forces per leg in g (as multiples of body weight). It proves that even for intensive training at high frequencies and amplitudes Galileo Training causes smaller internal joint forces than walking.

Galileo Research Fact Sheet No. 6: Are joint forces during Galileo Training higher than during vertical vibration?
This study compares muscle activation of the legs (EMG) of Galileo Training compared to vertical vibration (30Hz and 2mm amplitude). Compared to vertical vibration Galileo Training results in up to 150% higher additional activation of the muscle using identical amplitude and frequency (100% equivalent to standing)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 5: Can Galileo Training reduce Creatine Kinase (CK)?
Diese Studie untersucht den Einfluss von Galileo Training auf Muskelkater. Beide Gruppen trainierten exzentrische Quadrizeps Extension bei 120% 1RM. Die Galileo Gruppe trainierte anschließend 3 Min. mit Galileo bei 12Hz. Galileo Training halbierte den subjektiven Muskelkater und reduzierte die Creatin-Kinase-Werte (CK) um 40%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 4: Does muscle activation increase with knee angle and additional loads?
This study tested the activation (EMG) of the leg muscles at different training frequencies, knee angles and additional loads of 30% body mass. It showed that squats cause significantly higher muscle activation which can be further increased by using additional loads. This way muscle activation can be tripled (+210%)...

Galileo Reserach Facts No. 3: Do high frequencies cause more muscle activation?
This study tested muscle activation (EMG) of different leg muscles at different training frequencies between 5Hz and 30Hz. Is showed that high training frequencies (25-30Hz) lead to up to 4 times (+300%) higher muscle activation than low frequencies (5-10Hz). Muscle strength training should therefore be done at frequencies of 25 Hz and higher...
