Galileo Research Facts No. 29: Can Galileo Training change muscle histology after only 12 training sessions?
This study shows the changes of muscle histology and muscle function using exhaustive Galileo Training for athletes (25Hz, 2 sets squats until exhaustion (max. 3 min.) with 40% (start) to 80% (end) body weight extra load, pos. 3-4, 2/week, 6 week). The Galileo group increase muscle fiber cross-section by 95% (Type 2) and 23% (Type 1) and the 1 Repetition Maximum (1RM) by 25% (from 111kg to 141kg)...
Galileo Research Facts No. 23: Is oxygen uptake during Galileo Training independent from frequency and Amplitude?
This study reports the influence of frequency and amplitude during Galileo Training on the oxygen uptake (1 min., 18-34Hz, position 1.5 to 3.5, active standing at 170°). The results show that with increasing frequency and amplitude oxygen consumption during Galileo Training can be increased up to 170%. The effect of higher increasing frequencies dominated the effect of increasing amplitude...
Galileo Research Facts No. 21: Does blood-flow during Galileo Training increase with frequency and Amplitude?
This study reports the influence of frequency and amplitude during Galileo Training on the blood-flow (1 min., 5-30Hz, position 2.5 and 4.5, static squatting). The results show that with increasing frequency and increasing amplitude blood-flow velocity during Galileo Training can be increased by 220% to 420%.
Galileo Research Facts No. 20: Can Galileo Training increase blood flow?
This study reports the immediate effect of Galileo Training on blood flow (26Hz, Pos. 2, 3 minutes, slow squatting, additional weights +35% to +40% of body mass). Control group: Cycling ergometer, 3 min., 50W. In the Galileo Training group blood flow at the foot and calf increase between 120% and 150%. At the same time the cardiovascular reaction is significantly smaller than in cycling ergometer training. ..
Galileo Research Facts No. 24: Is the increase in blood flow highest during active Galileo Training?
This study reports for Galileo Training the influence of frequency and amplitude on blood flow, and the short-term changes over time before, during and after Galileo Training (1 min., 5-30Hz, position 2.5 and 4.5, static squatting). The results show that with increasing frequency and amplitude Galileo Training can increase blood-flow by up to 420% and that it increases by an additional 50% directly after the active training...
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%. ..
