Galileo Research Facts No. 51: Can 3 weeks of Galileo Therapy improve joint sensitivity and gait in CP patients?

This study reported the results of 3 weeks of Galileo Therapy in children with CP (20-24Hz, pos. 1-2, 30° bent knees, 3x3 min., 2/week, 3 weeks). Both groups received additional standard physiotherapy (30 min., 2/week, stretching, spasticity reduction, facilitation). With only additional 6 session in total the Galileo Group showed significantly higher results in gait parameters and joint position sense of up to 54% improvement...

Galileo Research Facts No. 50: Can 5×1 minutes Galileo dumbbell Training increase muscle power in athletes?

This study investigated the immediate effects of Galileo Mano Training (vibration dumbbell) on muscle power and muscle activation (EMG) in elite boxers (5x 1 min., 30Hz, 145° bent arms). One arm was trained the other was used as internal control. The side trained with Galileo could improve muscle power when lifting 5% of body mass by 13%. During Galileo Training muscle activation was increased by 110%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 49: Can 4 minutes of Galileo Therapy per week increase balance and gait Parameters?

This study tested the effect of a gait training with and without Galileo Therapy on balance and gait parameters in elderly ladies (12-20Hz, 4 min., 1/week, 2 months). Both groups received a special balance and gait training (2 times 30 min./week). With only 4 minutes additional therapy time per week the Galileo group showed significantly higher therapy effects on gait parameters (+10%) and balance (+88%)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 48: Can Galileo Therapy increase bone mass and decrease fracture risk?

This study compared Galileo Therapy vs. an one hour walking training (12,5Hz, pos. 3 , 60° bent knees, 6*1 min./day, 3/week, 8 months). The control group received a walking training (60 min.) + stretching exercises. The control group could not prevent bone loss. The Galileo Group could increase bone mass by more than 2% in the Ward-region even up to 6% and increase balance parameters by more than 25%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 47: Can Galileo Training be more effective for warming up than cycling ergometer?

This study compared Galileo Training vs. cycling ergometer training for warming-up before competition (1 min. 5-26Hz + 5 min. 26Hz, 45° static squat). The control group used a standard warming up protocol on a cycling ergometer (1 min. 0-50W + 5 min. 50W). The Galileo group showed a decreased cardiovascular load but significant improved in flexibility (20%) and muscle function (knee torque extension +10%, flexion +8%)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 46: Can Galileo Training reduce Creatin Kinase after extensive endurance Training?

This study tested the effect of Galileo Training on Creatine Kinase (CK) concentration after exhaustive endurance training. Both groups trained treadmill + 4x400 (HIIT) + 3km Time-Trial. The Galileo Group trained at 12Hz (5x60 sec. slight squats, 5x30 sec. sitting with feet on Galileo). 24 h after the intensive endurance training Creatine Kinase levels where reduced by 20% in the Galileo group compared to control...

Galileo Research Facts No. 45: Can Galileo Training in artificial weightlessness prevent bone loss?

The first Galileo Space-Study examined its effects on muscle and bone mass in simulated weightlessness (55 days bedrest, 10 min., 5 days/week 12-26Hz). The control group did not have any training. While the control group showed massive loss of bone mass (over 15%) the Galileo Group could almost completely compensate this effect (in strict bed-rest over 55 days!) and even showed higher bone mass (+4%) after 1 year follow-up...

Galileo Research Facts No. 44: Can Galileo Training in artificial weightlessness prevent loss of muscle and muscle function?

The first Galileo Space-Study examined its effects on muscle and bone in simulated weightlessness (55 days bedrest, 10 min., 5 days/week 12-26Hz). The control group did not have any training. While the control group showed massive loss in muscle cross-section, the Galileo groups hardly lost any muscle and could even improve muscle function (max torque) by 12% (in strict bed-rest over 55 days without any other exercise!)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 43: Can Galileo Training improve balance?

This study examined the effect of Galileo Training on balance in women between 39 and 48 (15-25Hz, pos. 1-3, deep squat, 15 min., 3/week, 9 weeks, increasing intensity). The control group did not perform any specific training. After the 9 weeks of intervention Galileo Training showed a significant increase in balance which improved about another 100% 14 days after the end of the intervention...

Galileo Research Facts No. 42: Can Galileo Therapy improve balance, muscle power and quality of life in elderly?

This study shows the effects of Galileo Therapy on muscle function and quality of life in a nursing home community (2x1 min. 10Hz, 2x1 min. 26Hz, 3/week, 6 weeks). Both groups received additional 3*10 min. per week physiotherapy (gait, balance, strength). The Galileo Therapy group showed significantly higher improvements in all tested aspects than the control group (about +40% on average).
