This study compares muscle activation of the legs (EMG) of Galileo Training compared to vertical vibration (30Hz and 2mm amplitude). Compared to vertical vibration Galileo Training results in up to 150% higher additional activation of the muscle using identical amplitude and frequency (100% equivalent to standing)...
Galileo Research Facts No. 5: Can Galileo Training reduce Creatine Kinase (CK)?
Diese Studie untersucht den Einfluss von Galileo Training auf Muskelkater. Beide Gruppen trainierten exzentrische Quadrizeps Extension bei 120% 1RM. Die Galileo Gruppe trainierte anschließend 3 Min. mit Galileo bei 12Hz. Galileo Training halbierte den subjektiven Muskelkater und reduzierte die Creatin-Kinase-Werte (CK) um 40%...
Galileo Research Facts No. 4: Does muscle activation increase with knee angle and additional loads?
This study tested the activation (EMG) of the leg muscles at different training frequencies, knee angles and additional loads of 30% body mass. It showed that squats cause significantly higher muscle activation which can be further increased by using additional loads. This way muscle activation can be tripled (+210%)...
Galileo Reserach Facts No. 3: Do high frequencies cause more muscle activation?
This study tested muscle activation (EMG) of different leg muscles at different training frequencies between 5Hz and 30Hz. Is showed that high training frequencies (25-30Hz) lead to up to 4 times (+300%) higher muscle activation than low frequencies (5-10Hz). Muscle strength training should therefore be done at frequencies of 25 Hz and higher...
Galileo Research Facts No. 2: Is Galileo Training more effective for muscle activation than vertical vibration?
This study compares muscle activation of the legs (EMG) of Galileo Training compared to vertical vibration (30Hz and 2mm amplitude). Compared to vertical vibration Galileo Training results in up to 150% higher additional activation of the muscle using identical amplitude and frequency (100% equivalent to standing)...
Galileo Research Facts No. 1: Can Galileo Training reduce Muscle Soreness?
This study investigates the influence of Galileo Training on muscle soreness. Both groups trained eccentric quadriceps extension at 120% 1RM. The Galileo group then trained for 3 minutes with Galileo at 12Hz. Galileo Training halved the subjective muscle soreness...
