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…

Galileo Research Facts No. 19: Can Galileo Training improve short-term leg-press Performance?

This study tested the immediate effect of Galileo Training on one-legged leg-press performance (only 1 leg on Galileo, other leg as control, 10×1 min., 1. min. rest, 26Hz, pos. 4, one-legged on toes, knee angle 100°-110°). Comparison between trained and untrained leg immediately before and after the training. The Galileo Training leg improved velocity and power in the leg-press exercise almost independent of extra loads by almost 10%. ..

Galileo Research Facts No. 17: Can the increase in flexibility using Galileo Training last longer than standard stretching?

This study examines the effect von Galileo Training on flexibility (26Hz, 5* 30 sec., pos. 2, straight legs, upper body 90° forward, 5/week, 4 weeks). Control group: identical exercises without vibration. The Galileo Group increased flexibility by 22% and sustained 50% of the effect after 3 weeks without any exercises. Standard stretching exercises only increased flexibility only by 14% and lost all effects after only 2 weeks…

Galileo Research Facts No. 12: Can Galileo Training increase endurance?

This study shows the effect of 16 Galileo Sessions (8 weeks, 30Hz, start 60% body weight, plus Occlusion) fro a group of young women compared to identical resistance training without vibration. The Galileo group increased the resistance by 85%, endurance by 57%, peak power on the ergometer by 9% (Wingate Rest); The resistance control group did not show a significant positive effect…

Galileo Research Facts No. 11: Can endurance athletes also gain with Galileo Training?

This study shows the effect of 16 Galileo Sessions (8 weeks, 30Hz, start 70% 1RM, plus Occlusion) for cyclists and Triathletes compared to identical resistance training. The Galileo Group increased muscle mass at the thigh by 3%, type 1 fiber cross-section by 25%, type 2 fiber cross-section by 23%, capillarization by 8% with no significant effect in the resistance training control group…

Galileo Research Facts No. 10: Can Galileo Training increase jumping height in older individuals?

This study investigated the effect of Galileo Training on jumping height in 45 to 63 year old individuals. They performed 12 training session at 30 Hz within 6 weeks. As a result jumping height increased by almost 20% while there was no significant change in the control group. The authors therefore suggested Galileo Training as an alternative to standard strength training methods…
