Galileo Research Facts No. 139: Can Galileo Training be more effective to prevent bone-loss than strength training?

This study investigated the short-term effects of Galileo Training vs. strength training on bone resorption markers (XTC). The control group received intensive strength training (6 exercises, 2*10 repetitions, 80% 1RM) the Galileo group received Galileo only (20Hz, 5 * 1 min., pos. 2, 30° squats). The Galileo group showed a significant reduction in bone resorption markers (CTX) by up to 21% (factor 3 compared to control)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 68: Can Galileo Training during 55 days bedrest improve long-term bone mass?

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). Galileo showed in almost all bone parameters improvements vs. control and e.g. in total hip BMC even vs. RE with improvements of up to +5.6% after half a year and still +3,7% after 2 years after bedrest...

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...
