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. 16: Can Galileo Training even at high frequencies improve flexibility?

This study tested the short-term effect of Galileo Training on flexibility (26 Hz, 6 minutes, slightly bent knees, 170°). The control group used a cycling ergometer for 6 minutes at moderate 50W). As a result the flexibility measured by sit & reach test improved by 17%, torque in knee extension by 10% and torque in knee flexion by 8%. The control group did not show any significant changes...
