Galileo Research Facts No. 81: Can Galileo Training improve blood flow and exhaust the muscles?

This study reported the effects of Galileo Training at high frequencies on blood flow and NO concentration in 58-83 year old individuals (26Hz, pos. 2, 30°-40° squat, 10x30s, 60s rest). The control group performed identical exercises without vibration. The Galileo groups showed significant improvements of blood flow during the training (+15%) and significant increase of NO concentration 5 minutes after the exercise (+43%)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 80: Can Galileo Therapy increase muscle power in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH)?

This study documented the effects of 4 weeks of Galileo Therapy on muscle power and quality of life in patients with Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension (PAH) (20Hz, pos. 2, 60 minutes, 4/week, 4 weeks). The control group received standard physio-therapy the Galileo group additional Galileo Therapy. The Galileo Group showed significantly higher increase in muscle power (+12%) and in quality of life assessment (+23%)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 79: Can Galileo Training reduce fall-risk and fracture-risk in elderly?

This study investigated the effects of 8 weeks of Galileo Training on mobility, muscle power, fall- and fracture-risk and bone parameters (age 60-80, 20Hz, pos. 3, 20° squat, 5*1min, 3/week, 8 weeks). Galileo Training improved balance (Berg Balance Scale, BBS) by 8%, muscle power (CRT) by 28%, increased flexibility (range of motion) by up to 50% and increased the Calcaneus bone quality by 0.3 SD...

Galileo Research Facts No. 78: Do higher frequencies and knee angles increase pelvic floor activation?

This study examined during Galileo Training the effects of increasing frequencies and higher squatting angles on pelvic floor activation (EMG in relation to MVC, maximum voluntary contraction) (6-26Hz, 20°-40° squat, Pos. 3). The study shows that increasing knee angles and especially increasing frequencies significantly increase pelvic floor muscle activation up to 15%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 77: Can 3 minutes Galileo Training decrease side differences in one-legged jumping?

This Study investigated the immediate effects of Galileo Training on the side-differences in one-legged jumping (26Hz, pos. 3, 3 min., bilateral 90° squats, both feet or only one foot on Galileo). The control group performed the identical exercise without vibration. Bilateral Galileo training improved jumping height of the stronger leg, one legged training focused on the weaker leg and decreased the side-difference by 12%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 76: Can Galileo Therapy increase bone density at spine and hip?

This study investigates the effect of 24 months of Galileo Therapy in bone density (DXA) at the spine and at the hip in osteopenia patients (16Hz, 3x3 min., 1/week, 24 months). Both groups received Galileo Therapy one a week but one got addition Calcium and Vitamin D daily. Both groups showed improvements of bone density of up to 4% with a slightly higher effect in combination of Galileo Therapy and Nutrition...

Galileo Research Facts No. 75: Can Galileo Therapy increase force in Osteoarthritis patients?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on maximum isometric force of then effected knee in Osteoarthritis patients (18-24Hz, pos. 3, 30° squat, 3x2 Min., 2/week, 8 weeks). Two control groups were used, one without an intervention and one using strength training (45 min. per session). The Galileo Group showed the highest improvements of the maximum isometric force of 25%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 74: Can one minute of Galileo Therapy reduce spinal and increase corticospinal excitability?
GRFS, Therapy

Galileo Research Facts No. 74: Can one minute of Galileo Therapy reduce spinal and increase corticospinal excitability?

This study showed the acute effects of Galileo Therapy on spinal excitability (H-Reflex) and corticospinal modulation (motor evoked potentials, MEP) (30Hz, pos. 3, 1 min, knee angle 5°). Only one minute of Galileo Therapy at high frequencies reduced up to 10 minutes after end of the exercise the spinal excitability by up to 24% and increased the corticospinal excitability by up to 23% (less reflex, higher voluntary activation)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 73: Does Galileo Therapy increase Creatine Kinase levels in Duchenne patients?

This pilot study tested the effects of Galileo Therapy on Creatine Kinase (CK) levels in children with Duchenne Muscle Dystrophy (DMD, Age 4-14). (Flexed legs, 13-20Hz, pos. 2, 2*2 min., 3/week, 4 weeks). Galileo Training did not show any significant increases in CK levels during the 4 weeks of Galileo Therapy. This study shows a relevant safety aspect of Galileo Therapy for DMD patients...

Galileo Research Facts No. 72: Can Galileo Therapy improve bone mass and muscle function in Cerebral Palsy (CP)?

This study documented the Effects of 6 month of home based Galileo Therapy (Cologne Concept) on bone parameters and muscle function in Children with Cerebral Palsy (CP, GMFM I-V, 2/day, 3*3 min., 6 months, individualize exercises). Galileo Therapy showed highly significant improvements in muscle mass (+3%), bone mass (+5.9%), muscle force /+7.8%) and muscle function & mobility (+12.8% mGFMF)...
