Galileo Research Facts No. 149: Can Galileo Training significantly increase force and force development?

This study investigated the short-term effect of Galileo Training on force and force development (26Hz, 40° squat, Pos. 3, 5Min). The control group received identical exercises without Galileo or cycling ergometer (70W). Force and force development during electrostimulation was measured. While both control groups reduced the parameters 5 minutes of Galileo Training could increase force and force development significantly…

Galileo Research Facts No. 131: Can Galileo Training cause a sustainable improvement of torque at the knee?

This study documented the effects of Galileo Training and concentric, eccentric and isometric knee torque in physical active young women (25Hz, pos.3, 2*5 min., 10° flexed legs, 5/week, 3 weeks). The control group continued their usual weekly training. The Galileo group received Galileo Training only. The Galileo group showed an improvement of knee torque by up to 16%. This effects was sustained even after 3 weeks (+7%)…

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. 70: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle strength and balance in Down Syndrome?

This study investigated the effects of 6 months of Galileo Therapy in Patients with down syndrome (age 8-9) on muscle strength and balance (25-30Hz, 10×30-60 sec., pos. 2, 3/week, knees slightly flexed). Both groups received 3/week 60 minutes physio therapy (stretching, strength training, balance). The Galileo Therapy group showed highly significantly higher effects on muscle strength of +14% and balance of up to +22%…

Galileo Research Facts No. 57: Can Galileo Therapy in Duchenne muscle dystrophy increase muscle power and force?

This study explored the effects of Galileo Therapy on muscle power and muscle force in kids with Duchenne muscle dystrophy (3x3min., 10/week, 18-24Hz, pos. 2., knees bent slightly, Stretching, 8 weeks, 4 weeks follow-up). Even though this study was designed as a safety study only (low intensity Galileo Therapy) it showed significant increases in muscle power and muscle force of up to 12% during the 8 weeks of training…
