Galileo Research Facts No. 101: Does Galileo Training trigger a stretch-reflex with each upwards movement of the platform?

This study proved that Galileo Training triggers a stretch reflex with each upwards movement of the platform. It also proved that the EMG signal corresponding to the vibration frequency is not a motion artifact but an actual activation of the corresponding muscle. The measured latency is therefore not dependent on the vibration frequency but on the individual and is identical with the latency caused by one single tilt movement...

Galileo Research Facts No. 98: Can Galileo Therapy at work decrease subjective back pain?

This study documented the effects of workplace-based Galileo Therapy on subjective back pain in individuals with chronic lower-back pain (10-30Hz, slightly bent legs, pos. 1-3, 15 min., 2-3/weeks, 3 months). The control group received no therapy. While the control group slightly decreased the Galileo Therapy group improved by up to 4.5% and showed a tendency to decrease days of sick-leave per month...

Galileo Research Facts No. 97: Can Galileo Training at higher frequencies improve balance and flexibility in the elderly?

This study showed the effects of Galileo Training on balance and flexibility in elderly women (66-78) with increased fall-risk (20Hz, pos. 2, standing, 3 min., 3/week, 3 months). The control group did not train at all. The control group showed significant improvements in balance (+20%), flexibility (+23%) and movement angular velocity which improved by 54% in average...

Galileo Research Facts No. 96: Is muscle activity during Galileo Training related to different postures?

This study investigates the effects of different tilt-angles of the hip during Galileo Training on muscular activation (EMG) (10 sec., 0Hz/10HZ/20Hz, pos. 2, legs slightly flexed). The results show that muscular activation is strongly dependent on posture. The observed effects during Galileo Training depend on the tested muscle groups as well as frequency and can be as high as 2250%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 95: Does muscular activation with Galileo Training increase with increasing frequency?

This study investigates the effects of different frequencies during Galileo Training on muscular activation (EMG) (10 sec., 0Hz/10HZ/20Hz, pos. 2, legs slightly flexed). The results show that increasing frequencies cause increasing muscular activation. The observed effects during Galileo Training depend on the tested muscle groups as well as posture and can be as high as 2250%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 94: Can Galileo Therapy improve the disability status of MS patients?

This study investigated the effects of 8 weeks of Galileo Therapy on different disease related scores (PDDS, MSCF) in MS (Multiple Sclerosis) patients (20Hz, pos. 1.5, 5*1 min., 3/week, 8 weeks, 20° bent legs). The results show not only improvements in PDDS and PSAT-3 by up to 18% but also an increase in HSFC (MS Functional Composite: walking distance, hand function, calculation test) in average by 0.36SD...

Galileo Research Facts No. 93: Can 5*10 min./week Galileo Training prevent loss of muscle function during 55 days bedrest?

During the 1st Berlin Bedrest Study (BBR) individuals had to stay in bed for 55 days completely. The control group did no training at all, the Galileo group received 10 Min., 5 days/week 12-26Hz of intense Galileo Training while in bed. The Galileo group could prevent loss of muscle function almost completely while the control group lost muscle function by up to 28%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 92: Can frequent Galileo Training improve the immune system?

During the 2nd Berlin Bedrest Study (BBR2) the participants had to stay in bed for 55 days. The control group received no intervention at all, the Galileo Training group did resistance exercise + vibration (24Hz, 6x1 min. to exhaustion, 3/week). The control group showed a decrease in immune system (increased inflammation markers decreased immune competence & function) while the Galileo group improved the immune system...
