Galileo Research Facts No. 65: Can 7 minutes Galileo Training change the hormonal profile?

Diese Studie untersuchte den Effekt von lediglich 7 * 60 Sekunden Galileo Training auf die Sprungleistung und Hormonantwort (7 * 60 Sek., 30Hz, Pos. 5, 90° Kniebeuge). Das Galileo Training erhöhte die Spitzenleistung und Spitzensprunghöhe bei wiederholten Sprüngen um bis zu 13% und reduzierte Testosteron und Cortisol um bis zu 27% und zeigte somit Reaktionen analog zu intensivstem Krafttraining...

Galileo Research Facts No. 64: Can 20 minutes Galileo Therapy decrease spasticity in Cerebral Palsy?

This study examined the immediate effect of 20 minutes Galileo Therapy (20Hz, pos. 2, 10 minutes, 30° squat) on ankle flexor spasticity in kids with Cerebral Palsy (CP, GMFCS level 1-4, age 3-14). Participants were separated into a knee flexion and a knee extension spasticity group. In average spasticity at the ankle joint was decreased by 55% and this effect lasted up to 3 hours after the end of the 20 minutes Galileo Therapy...

Galileo Research Fact Sheet No. 63: Can Galileo Therapy increase blood-flow in the legs of Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) patients?

This study reports increases in blood-flow during Galileo Therapy, electro-stimulation (ES) and Galileo Therapy + electro-stimulation (Galileo + ES) for spinal cord injury (SCI) patients (sitting in front of Galileo, 10Hz, pos. 2.5). As a result Galileo Therapy showed the largest effect (130% increase of blood-flow) which can be improved further in combination with ES to up to 250%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 62: Can Galileo Therapy reduce pain in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome patients?

This study reported the effects of pain reduction in patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) after 6 months of Galileo Therapy. The patients previously received at least 6 months of standard therapy without and improvements (18/22 Hz, pos. 4, 4x2 min., 3/week, 6 months, 4 different positions). The Galileo Therapy significantly reduced pressure pain at different muscle groups (upper back, neck, upper leg) by up to 40%...

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. 59: Are high frequencies for stretching more effective and lasting than mid frequencies?

This study examined for Galileo Training the effects of different frequencies on increase of flexibility (6 min. pos. 3, 20° bent knees, 15, 20, 30Hz). The control group performed the same exercises without vibration. ´The effects of Galileo Training on flexibility where significantly higher at mid frequencies (15 & 20Hz) compared do high frequencies (30 Hz). The differences where even higher 15 Minutes after the exercise...

Galileo Research Facts No. 58: Can Galileo Therapy increase muscle power and flexibility in spinal muscle atrophy (SMA)?

This study explored the effects of Galileo Therapy on muscle power and flexibility in kids with spinal muscle atrophy (SMA) (3x3min., 10/week, 18-24Hz, pos. 2., knees bent slightly, Stretching, 8 weeks, 4 weeks follow-up). Even though this study was designed as a safety study only (low intensity Galileo Therapy) it showed significant increases in muscle power and flexibility of up to 36% during just 8 weeks of Galileo Therapy...

Galileo Research Facts No. 56: Can Galileo Therapy in CP patients be more effective than standard physiotherapy?

This study examined the effects of Galileo Therapy on balance and quadriceps torque in children with CP (Cerebral Palsy) (3x3min., 12-18Hz, pos. 1-3, 5/week, 10-45° bent knees). Both groups received standard physiotherapy (5x60min. /week) the Galileo group additional 5x9 min. Galileo Therapy. The Galileo group showed more than double the improvements in balance and almost 60% increase in quadriceps peak torque...
