12-weeks of Whole Body Vibration with Resistance Exercise is Osteogenic at the Spine
Evidence supports weight-bearing activity as a means to increase bone mineral density (BMD) and lower risk for osteoporosis. Whole bod...
Enhanced Myofiber Recruitment During Exhaustive Squatting Performed as Whole-Body Vibration Exercise
Eckhardt, H, Wollny, R, Müller, H, Bärtsch, P, and Friedmann-Bette, B. Enhanced myofiber recruitment during exhaustive squatting perfor...
Whole body vibration as an adjunct to static stretching
This study was a randomized control trial. The purpose of this study was twofold: 1) to determine if stretching the hamstrings during w...
Efficacy of a whole-body vibration intervention on functional performance of community-dwelling older adults
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to investigate efficacy of a whole-body vibration (WBV) intervention on functional performan...
Resistive vibration exercise attenuates bone and muscle atrophy in 56 days of bed rest: biochemical markers of bone metabolism
During and after prolonged bed rest, changes in bone metabolic markers occur within 3 days. Resistive vibration exercise during bed res...
Handheld vibration effects shoulder motion
We explored effects of handheld vibration on glenohumeral motion in competitive overhead-throwing athletes. We used a randomized, blind...
The acute effect of vibration exercise on concentric muscular characteristics
This study was designed to compare the acute effect of vibration exercise with a concentric-only activity (arm cranking) on concentric-...
Galileo Research Facts No. 173: Can Galileo Training increase Oxygen uptake compared to traditional exercises?
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 with 5-12% lower additional training mass a significantly higher oxygen uptake (+15%) and therefore a higher training efficiency...
Galileo Research Facts No. 167: Are Joint Torques during Galileo Training Dependent on Frequency and Amplitude?
This study investigates the effects of Frequency and Amplitude during Galileo Training on joint torques (10, 20, 30Hz, pos.1, pos.2, pos.3, upright standing with straight legs). Joint torque showed an significant increase with increasing frequency and amplitude of up to 250% - nevertheless joint torques stayed below those of natural walking...
