Galileo Research Facts No. 127: Can Galileo Training during 55 days bedrest improve long-term bone mass at the spine?

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 compared to the control groups increased trabecular bone density at the spine (L1-L3) even 2 years after the active bedrest phase with maximum improvements of up to +12%...
