Galileo Research Facts No. 175: Do Galileo Therapy effects in the elderly last 6 months after end of intervention?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on functional independence (Barthel Index) in frail elderly (age 74-90) Three groups: Control without intervention, Simulation (identical exercises without Galileo), Galileo group (26Hz, pos. 1-2, 20° squat, 5-10x 1min.,12 weeks, 3/week). Only the Galileo group showed significant improvements of 6% and could maintain them even 6 months after the end of intervention…

Galileo Research Facts No. 170: Can Galileo Therapy increase balance and muscle function also in frail elderly?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on muscle function an balance in frail elderly (age 74-90) Three groups: Control without intervention, Simulation (identical exercises without Galileo), Galileo group (26Hz, pos. 1-2, 20° squat, 5-10x 1min.,12 weeks, 3/week). The Galileo group showed significant functional improvements of up to +14% while the other groups showed decrease in all parameters of up to -24%…

Galileo Research Facts No. 156: Can Galileo Therapy increase Bone Mass?

This study investigated possible positive effects of Hypoxia (simulated high-altitude training) on Galileo Therapy for the increase of bone mass in older individuals (age: 65-77). Three groups were used (Control, Galileo with & without Hypoxia, +5min. Ergometer warmup, 12.5Hz, 120° squat, pos. 2, 4x30sec, 2/week, 18 weeks). Both Galileo groups show significant improvements of bone mass compared with the control group…

Galileo Research Facts No. 118: Can Galileo Therapy + HRT be more effective for bone density than strength training + HRT?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy vs. machine based strength training over a period of 1 year (60 min./week) (25Hz, Pos. 3-4, up to 15kg add. weights). Both received hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The control group received strength training at 6 different strength machines (Schnell). The Galileo group showed especially in combination with HRT significant higher effects with up to 3,7% increase aBMD…

Galileo Research Facts No. 76: Can Galileo Therapy increase bone density at spine and hip?

This study investigates the effect of 24 months of Galileo Therapy in bone density (DXA) at the spine and at the hip in osteopenia patients (16Hz, 3×3 min., 1/week, 24 months). Both groups received Galileo Therapy one a week but one got addition Calcium and Vitamin D daily. Both groups showed improvements of bone density of up to 4% with a slightly higher effect in combination of Galileo Therapy and Nutrition…
