Galileo Research Facts No. 145: Can Galileo Training compensate negative vascular effects of bedrest?

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). While the control groups showed significant decrease in vascular parameters like dilator capacity or vascular diameter, the Galileo Group could even improve some of them (Vascular Stiffness)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 133: Can Galileo Training increase muscle tissue oxygenation more effectively than squatting?

This study investigated the immediate effects of Galileo Training on muscle tissue oxygenation and blood per-fusion (25Hz, 3 min., pos.2-3, 30° squats). The control group received squats (3 min, 12/min.) with additional weights matched to the VO2 values of the Galileo group. The Galileo group showed significantly higher muscle oxygenation of up to 2.4 times (+140%) starting right after the beginning and lasting longer than the exercise...

Galileo Research Facts No. 116: Can high frequency Galileo Therapy improve blood-flow in spinal cord injury?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on blood-flow in spinal cord injury (SCI, ASIA A) patients. They received Galileo Therapy on a Galileo Delta tilt-table (45° tilt, 10-30Hz, pos. 2.5, 60° flexed knees, 3 min., then 2 min. test, blood-flow was measured using ultrasound Doppler). The blood flow improved significantly with increasing frequency and time by up to 54% compared to rest (also at 45° tilt)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 81: Can Galileo Training improve blood flow and exhaust the muscles?

This study reported the effects of Galileo Training at high frequencies on blood flow and NO concentration in 58-83 year old individuals (26Hz, pos. 2, 30°-40° squat, 10x30s, 60s rest). The control group performed identical exercises without vibration. The Galileo groups showed significant improvements of blood flow during the training (+15%) and significant increase of NO concentration 5 minutes after the exercise (+43%)...

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. ..

Galileo Research Facts No. 24: Is the increase in blood flow highest during active Galileo Training?

This study reports for Galileo Training the influence of frequency and amplitude on blood flow, and the short-term changes over time before, during and after Galileo Training (1 min., 5-30Hz, position 2.5 and 4.5, static squatting). The results show that with increasing frequency and amplitude Galileo Training can increase blood-flow by up to 420% and that it increases by an additional 50% directly after the active training...
