Galileo Research Facts No. 106: Can 8 weeks of Galileo Therapy decrease inflammation markers?

This case study reported the results of Galileo Therapy in a patient with Anti-Jo-1-Syndrome (auto-immune disease) on inflammation markers like CK, IL-8 and TNF-alpha (26Hz, pos. 2, 6*2 min. + 12 Hz, 3min. cool-down, week, 2 months). Additional therapy was not changed during this time. The results show a significant decrease of the inflammation makers CK, IL-8 and TNF-alpha after 8 weeks by up to 61%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 90: Can Galileo Training decrease Creatine Kinase levels during bedrest?

During the 2nd Berlin Bedrest Study (BBR2) the participants had to stay in bed for 55 days. The control group did no training at all, the Galileo group did resistance training + vibration (24Hz, 6x1 min. to exhaustion, 3/week). The Galileo group decreased CK levels to the same values ad the passive control group but received even better training results than the resistance training group which showed the highest CK levels in bedrest...

Galileo Research Facts No. 73: Does Galileo Therapy increase Creatine Kinase levels in Duchenne patients?

This pilot study tested the effects of Galileo Therapy on Creatine Kinase (CK) levels in children with Duchenne Muscle Dystrophy (DMD, Age 4-14). (Flexed legs, 13-20Hz, pos. 2, 2*2 min., 3/week, 4 weeks). Galileo Training did not show any significant increases in CK levels during the 4 weeks of Galileo Therapy. This study shows a relevant safety aspect of Galileo Therapy for DMD patients...

Galileo Research Facts No. 47: Can Galileo Training be more effective for warming up than cycling ergometer?

This study compared Galileo Training vs. cycling ergometer training for warming-up before competition (1 min. 5-26Hz + 5 min. 26Hz, 45° static squat). The control group used a standard warming up protocol on a cycling ergometer (1 min. 0-50W + 5 min. 50W). The Galileo group showed a decreased cardiovascular load but significant improved in flexibility (20%) and muscle function (knee torque extension +10%, flexion +8%)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 46: Can Galileo Training reduce Creatin Kinase after extensive endurance Training?

This study tested the effect of Galileo Training on Creatine Kinase (CK) concentration after exhaustive endurance training. Both groups trained treadmill + 4x400 (HIIT) + 3km Time-Trial. The Galileo Group trained at 12Hz (5x60 sec. slight squats, 5x30 sec. sitting with feet on Galileo). 24 h after the intensive endurance training Creatine Kinase levels where reduced by 20% in the Galileo group compared to control...
