Exercise EW27: Stretching of back & anterior chain
Galileo Training Exercise Video EW27 – Goal: Relaxation and stretching of the back and especially the anterior muscle chain (gluteus, thighs, back of the knees, calfs)
Galileo Research Facts No. 120: Can Galileo Therapy increase muscle and lung function in Cystic Fibrosis patients?
This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on lung and muscle function of adult Cystic Fibrosis patients (age 24-47, 20-25Hz, pos. 1, 10*3 min./week, 3 months). The results showed that Galileo Therapy could significantly improve lung function (+5%) and muscle function e.g. in the chair rising test (CRT) in muscle power (+16%) and muscle force (+34%)…
Galileo Research Facts No. 115: Can Galileo Training improve trunk flexibility and torque (force) of the knee?
This study documented the effects of Galileo Training on flexibility and concentric 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 weekly training. The Galileo group received Galileo Training only and no other training. The Galileo group could improve concentric knee torque by up to 8% and flexibility (Sit & Reach Test) by 13%…
Galileo Research Facts No. 112: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle power and balance in MS patients?
This study investigated safety and the effects of Galileo Therapy on muscle power, balance, flexibility and quality of life in MS (Multiple Sclerosis) patients (15-25Hz, pos. 2.5-4.5, 5-8x1min, 3/week, 8weeks, increasing Intensity). The Galileo group showed significant improvements in Balance (+12,8%), Functional Reach Test (+14.2%), muscle power (Timed up and Go, +10%) and FS-36 Mental Health (+9%)…
Galileo Research Facts No. 98: Can Galileo Therapy at work decrease subjective back pain?
This study documented the effects of workplace-based Galileo Therapy on subjective back pain in individuals with chronic lower-back pain (10-30Hz, slightly bent legs, pos. 1-3, 15 min., 2-3/weeks, 3 months). The control group received no therapy. While the control group slightly decreased the Galileo Therapy group improved by up to 4.5% and showed a tendency to decrease days of sick-leave per month…
Galileo Research Facts No. 97: Can Galileo Training at higher frequencies improve balance and flexibility in the elderly?
This study showed the effects of Galileo Training on balance and flexibility in elderly women (66-78) with increased fall-risk (20Hz, pos. 2, standing, 3 min., 3/week, 3 months). The control group did not train at all. The control group showed significant improvements in balance (+20%), flexibility (+23%) and movement angular velocity which improved by 54% in average…
Galileo Research Facts No. 79: Can Galileo Training reduce fall-risk and fracture-risk in elderly?
This study investigated the effects of 8 weeks of Galileo Training on mobility, muscle power, fall- and fracture-risk and bone parameters (age 60-80, 20Hz, pos. 3, 20° squat, 5*1min, 3/week, 8 weeks). Galileo Training improved balance (Berg Balance Scale, BBS) by 8%, muscle power (CRT) by 28%, increased flexibility (range of motion) by up to 50% and increased the Calcaneus bone quality by 0.3 SD…
