Galileo Research Facts No. 147: Can Galileo Training compensate the effects of bedrest on the Bone Marrow Fat-Fraction?

In the 2nd Berlin Bedrest Study (BBR2) the effects of Galileo Training against the expected bone loss was tested (55 days, 24Hz, 6x1 min. exhaustive, 3/week). The control groups receive no training or identical training with-out vibration (RE). Compared to both control groups, the Galileo group showed a decrease in vertebra bone marrow fat fraction and in increase in number of red blood cells - both are related to increased endurance...

Galileo Research Facts No. 146: Can exercises with extra loads and with Galileo Training at 40Hz be more effective than without?

This study investigated the effects of squats and heel raises with extra loads on muscle function and cross-section with and without Galileo Training at 40Hz (20-40Hz, pos. 3-4, loads 80% 1RM (80kg), 3x8 squats (4 sec.), 3x12 heel raises, 6 weeks, 16 Sessions). The Galileo Group showed higher training effects with increases of isometric torque (up to +4%) and the speed indicator reactive ground contact time (-8%, Drop Jump)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 145: Can Galileo Training compensate negative vascular effects of bedrest?

In the 2nd Berlin Bedrest Study (BBR2) the effects of Galileo Training against the expected bone loss was tested (55 days, 24Hz, 6x1 min. exhaustive, 3/week). The control groups receive no training or identical training with-out vibration (RE). While the control groups showed significant decrease in vascular parameters like dilator capacity or vascular diameter, the Galileo Group could even improve some of them (Vascular Stiffness)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 143: Can Galileo Training over a period of 12 weeks increase bone density at the spine?

This study investigated the effects of 12 weeks of Galileo Training on bone formation markers and bone density of the spine in physical active students (age 18-23) (15-26Hz, 5-15 min., pos.2, 3/week, 12 weeks). The control group did not receive any additional exercises. While the control group decreased bone density at the spine of by up to 1.7%, the Galileo group could increase the bone density at the spine by up to 2.7%...

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. 139: Can Galileo Training be more effective to prevent bone-loss than strength training?

This study investigated the short-term effects of Galileo Training vs. strength training on bone resorption markers (XTC). The control group received intensive strength training (6 exercises, 2*10 repetitions, 80% 1RM) the Galileo group received Galileo only (20Hz, 5 * 1 min., pos. 2, 30° squats). The Galileo group showed a significant reduction in bone resorption markers (CTX) by up to 21% (factor 3 compared to control)...

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. 133: Can Galileo Training increase muscle tissue oxygenation more effectively than squatting?

This study investigated the immediate effects of Galileo Training on muscle tissue oxygenation and blood per-fusion (25Hz, 3 min., pos.2-3, 30° squats). The control group received squats (3 min, 12/min.) with additional weights matched to the VO2 values of the Galileo group. The Galileo group showed significantly higher muscle oxygenation of up to 2.4 times (+140%) starting right after the beginning and lasting longer than the exercise...

Galileo Research Facts No. 131: Can Galileo Training cause a sustainable improvement of torque at the knee?

This study documented the effects of Galileo Training and concentric, eccentric and isometric 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 usual weekly training. The Galileo group received Galileo Training only. The Galileo group showed an improvement of knee torque by up to 16%. This effects was sustained even after 3 weeks (+7%)...
