Galileo Research Facts No. 8: Can Galileo Training activate muscles of the back?

This study examines the activation (EMG) of different muscles of the back during Galileo Training at different knee angles. It shows that Galileo activates the muscles of the back up to 18% higher than just standing in the same position. Muscles of the back were activated up to 27% of the maximum voluntary contraction (MVC). Galileo Training therefore significantly increases muscle activation of the back...

Galileo Research Facts No. 7: Does Galileo Training cause high joint forces?

This study compares forces within the knee and hip during Galileo Training and during normal walking. The measurements were done in-vivo with individuals who had artificial knee and hip implants with built-in force sensors. The graph shows forces per leg in g (as multiples of body weight). It proves that even for intensive training at high frequencies and amplitudes Galileo Training causes smaller internal joint forces than walking.
