Galileo Research Facts No. 92: Can frequent Galileo Training improve the immune system?

Galileo Research Facts No. 93: Can 5*10 min./week Galileo Training prevent loss of muscle function during 55 days bedrest?

During the 1st Berlin Bedrest Study (BBR) individuals had to stay in bed for 55 days completely. The control group did no training at all, the Galileo group received 10 Min., 5 days/week 12-26Hz of intense Galileo Training while in bed. The Galileo group could prevent loss of muscle function almost completely while the control group lost muscle function by up to 28%…

Galileo Research Facts No. 45: Can Galileo Training in artificial weightlessness prevent bone loss?

Galileo Research Facts No. 45: Can Galileo Training in artificial weightlessness prevent bone loss?

The first Galileo Space-Study examined its effects on muscle and bone mass in simulated weightlessness (55 days bedrest, 10 min., 5 days/week 12-26Hz). The control group did not have any training. While the control group showed massive loss of bone mass (over 15%) the Galileo Group could almost completely compensate this effect (in strict bed-rest over 55 days!) and even showed higher bone mass (+4%) after 1 year follow-up…

Galileo Research Facts No. 44: Can Galileo Training in artificial weightlessness prevent loss of muscle and muscle function?

Galileo Research Facts No. 44: Can Galileo Training in artificial weightlessness prevent loss of muscle and muscle function?

The first Galileo Space-Study examined its effects on muscle and bone in simulated weightlessness (55 days bedrest, 10 min., 5 days/week 12-26Hz). The control group did not have any training. While the control group showed massive loss in muscle cross-section, the Galileo groups hardly lost any muscle and could even improve muscle function (max torque) by 12% (in strict bed-rest over 55 days without any other exercise!)…
