Galileo Research Facts No. 173: Can Galileo Training increase Oxygen uptake compared to traditional exercises?

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 with 5-12% lower additional training mass a significantly higher oxygen uptake (+15%) and therefore a higher training efficiency...

Galileo Research Facts No. 110: Can Galileo Training at high frequencies increase isokinetic eccentric knee torque?

This study investigated short-term effects of Galileo Training at high frequencies (26Hz & 40Hz) on the max. isokinetic torque at the knee (0Hz, 26Hz (Pos.4), 40Hz (Pos.1.5), 90° knee angle (static), 10x60 s). The control group performed identical exercises without vibration. The Galileo group showed higher isokinetic eccentric knee torque of up to +14% (at 26Hz) which is equivalent to a difference of up to 41% vs. the control group...
