Galileo Research Facts No. 164: Can static exercises with Galileo Training be more effective than dynamic exercises?

This study documented the effects of Galileo Training in combination with squats on the heart rate. Dynamic as well as static squats with and without Galileo were tested (26Hz, Pos. 3). The Galileo groups showed significantly higher effects on the heart rate compared to the control group with +42% and +47%. The static squats was 13% more effective than the dynamic exercises...

Galileo Research Facts No. 162: Can Galileo Training improve movement efficiency?

This study investigated short-term effects of Galileo Training on movement efficiency (30Hz, Pos. 2, 1 min., 10% knee angle, fore-foot stance, 2x8 repetitions). The maximum ankle torque and muscle activation (EMG) was tested. After the Galileo application the torque was constant but muscle activation as well as co-contraction was decreased and hence movement efficiency was increased significantly...

Galileo Research Facts No. 141: Can Galileo Training be more effective and more efficient than traditional stretching?

This study documented the immediate effects of Galileo Training one force development, torque and range of motion (ROM) (26Hz, 5x60s, stretching of ankle). The control group performed identical exercises without Galileo Mechanostimulation. The Galileo group showed increase stretching effects (+38%) and a significant increase in torque (Platarflexion) by +18%, and an increased force development at lower ankle angles (-7°)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 137: Can Galileo Training be more effective and efficient for warm-up than ergometer training?

This study investigated the warm-up effects of Galileo Training on muscle temperature, power and the training duration. Passive warm-up in a water bath (legs at 41°C), standard ergometer training (10 min., 70W) and Galileo Training (26Hz, Pos.3,10°-90° 6s slow dynamic squats, 5min.) where compared. The results showed that Galileo Training had higher effects on muscle power (ergometer) in a shorter time (52% of ergometer)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 61: Are 5 minutes Galileo Mano Training (dumbbell) an effective warm up Training?

This study reported the warming up effects of 5 minutes Galileo Mano Training (Galileo vibrating dumbbell) compared to static exercises and arm ergometer training (5*1 min, 26Hz, 5 Exercises). The control groups performed the exercises without vibration or used an arm ergometer (5 Min., 25 W, 25 rpm). Only the Galileo group showed significant improvements in EMG intensity and peak power output of up to 6%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 60: Can Galileo Training be more effective than traditional warm up exercises?

This study examined the warm up effects of Galileo Training in comparison to traditional warm up (cycling ergometer) and static exercises (5 min., 26Hz, pos. 3, 5 exercises). The control groups used identical exercises without vibration and traditional cycling ergometer (5 min. 50 W, 50 rpm). Only the Galileo Groups showed significant improvements for jumping height and flexibility (sit & reach) of more than 8%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 19: Can Galileo Training improve short-term leg-press Performance?

This study tested the immediate effect of Galileo Training on one-legged leg-press performance (only 1 leg on Galileo, other leg as control, 10x1 min., 1. min. rest, 26Hz, pos. 4, one-legged on toes, knee angle 100°-110°). Comparison between trained and untrained leg immediately before and after the training. The Galileo Training leg improved velocity and power in the leg-press exercise almost independent of extra loads by almost 10%. ..
