Galileo Research Facts No. 35: Can Galileo Training increase jumping performance after only 10 days?

The first Whole Body Vibration Training study ever, done with Galileo in 1998. It shows the effects of Galileo Training on Jumping performance in active handball and water polo players (26Hz, pos. 5, 5*2 min., 10 days, 1) forefoot 2) 45° squat 3) 90°squat 4/5) 90°squat one legged). Both groups performed additional 20 min. warmup and 5 min. jump training. Only the Galileo Training group showed jump improvements of up to 12%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 33: Can one set Galileo Training + Blood Flow Restriction activate muscle Satellite cells?

This study reports short-term effects of Galileo Training on skin blood-flow and blood Nitirc Oxide (NO) concentration as an indicator for intense muscle work (10*30 sec., 26Hz, pos. 2, 35° bent knees). The Galileo group showed significant higher effects than the control group. In addition it was observed that skin blood flow was highest during training but NO concentration was increased massively 5 minutes after the training...

Galileo Research Facts No. 29: Can Galileo Training change muscle histology after only 12 training sessions?

Galileo Research Facts No. 29: Can Galileo Training change muscle histology after only 12 training sessions?

This study shows the changes of muscle histology and muscle function using exhaustive Galileo Training for athletes (25Hz, 2 sets squats until exhaustion (max. 3 min.) with 40% (start) to 80% (end) body weight extra load, pos. 3-4, 2/week, 6 week). The Galileo group increase muscle fiber cross-section by 95% (Type 2) and 23% (Type 1) and the 1 Repetition Maximum (1RM) by 25% (from 111kg to 141kg)...
