Galileo Research Facts No. 129: Can squats with Galileo Training be more effective for warm-up than without Galileo?

Galileo Research Facts No. 129: Can squats with Galileo Training be more effective for warm-up than without Galileo?

This study documented the effects of Galileo Training in combination with squats on muscle temperature. Dynamic as well as static squats with and without Galileo were tested (26Hz, Pos. 3). The Galileo groups showed significant higher warming-up effects concerning muscle temperature with increases compared to the control group with +43% and +87%, showing that Galileo Training can be very effectively used for warm-up...

Galileo Research Facts No. 128: Can Galileo Therapy improve Gait Parameters in Stroke patients significantly?

Galileo Research Facts No. 128: Can Galileo Therapy improve Gait Parameters in Stroke patients significantly?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy in combination with treadmill therapy on gait parameters in stroke patients (20-30Hz, 4*45sec., 3/week, 6 weeks, 6 different exercises). The control group received treadmill therapy without Galileo (20Min./session). In all reported functional outcome parameters the effects in combination with Galileo Therapy were up to factor 3.25 (+225%) higher than treadmill therapy only...

Galileo Research Facts No. 127: Can Galileo Training during 55 days bedrest improve long-term bone mass at the spine?

Galileo Research Facts No. 127: Can Galileo Training during 55 days bedrest improve long-term bone mass at the spine?

In the 2nd Berlin Bedrest Study (BBR2) the effects of Galileo Training against the expected bone loss was tested (55 days, 24Hz, 6x1 min. exhaustive, 3/week). The control groups receive no training or identical training with-out vibration (RE). Galileo showed compared to the control groups increased trabecular bone density at the spine (L1-L3) even 2 years after the active bedrest phase with maximum improvements of up to +12%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 126: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle function and muscle cross-section in Cystic Fibrosis?

Galileo Research Facts No. 126: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle function and muscle cross-section in Cystic Fibrosis?

This study investigated the effects of 6 months of Galileo Therapy on muscle function and cross-section in Cystic Fibrosis patients (12Hz, 6min., 5/week (flexibility) + 26Hz 3/week (muscle power)). The Galileo group showed in average an improvement in muscle cross-section (+5,5%), muscle function (jump height +6,1%) as well as movement efficiency (decrease of used muscle force -4,3% but increase in muscle power +4,7%)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 124: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle force and endurance in COPD-patients?

Galileo Research Facts No. 124: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle force and endurance in COPD-patients?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy in COPD patients. (6-24Hz, 3*3 min., progressive, 150° squat, pos.2-3, 2/week, 3 months, +15 min. warmup+cool-down). The control group received Calisthenics exercises (2*30 min./week). While the control group did not show any significant changes that Galileo group showed highly significant improvements in muscle force and endurance with up to +38% (leg press, 1RM)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 123: Can Galileo Training during squats increase muscle activation with each repetition?

Galileo Research Facts No. 123: Can Galileo Training during squats increase muscle activation with each repetition?

This study investigates the effects of exhaustive squats with and without Galileo Training on muscle activation (EMG) (5*10 Sets deep squats, with & without Galileo Training, 22Hz, pos. 4, extra weight: 10RM = 60% Body mass). Compared to the control group without vibration the Galileo Group could almost triple muscle activation (+196%) during eight repetitions...

Galileo Research Facts No. 122: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle function and muscle mass in OI patients?

Galileo Research Facts No. 122: Can Galileo Therapy improve muscle function and muscle mass in OI patients?

This study documented the effects of Galileo Training in children with OI (Osteogenesis Imperfecta) during the Cologne therapy concept “auf die Beine” on muscle function and muscle mass (10-20Hz, patient individual exercises, 10*15min./week, 6 months + 6 months follow-up). The results showed a significant growth corrected increase of muscle mass (+7%), an significant increase of leg force (+7%) and of the GMFM66 (+9%)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 121: Can Galileo Training increase muscle function and balance at the same time?

Galileo Research Facts No. 121: Can Galileo Training increase muscle function and balance at the same time?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Training on muscle function an balance in women age 52 to 60 (15-25Hz, 6 exercises, extra loads up to 30% body weight, pos.1-3, 35 min., 3/week, 12 weeks). The conventional group received identical exercises without vibration. The Galileo group showed identical results on muscle function but significantly higher results on all tested balance test with improvements o up to 61%...

Galileo Research Facts No. 120: Can Galileo Therapy increase muscle and lung function in Cystic Fibrosis patients?

Galileo Research Facts No. 120: Can Galileo Therapy increase muscle and lung function in Cystic Fibrosis patients?

This study investigated the effects of Galileo Therapy on lung and muscle function of adult Cystic Fibrosis patients (age 24-47, 20-25Hz, pos. 1, 10*3 min./week, 3 months). The results showed that Galileo Therapy could significantly improve lung function (+5%) and muscle function e.g. in the chair rising test (CRT) in muscle power (+16%) and muscle force (+34%)...

Galileo Research Facts No. 119: Can squats with Galileo Training be more intense than squats without?

This study investigates the effects of exhaustive squats with and without Galileo Training on blood Lactate levels (5*10 Sets deep squats, with & without Galileo Training, 22Hz, pos. 4, extra weight: 10 repetition maximum = 60% Body mass). Compared to the control group without vibration the Galileo Group could double training intensity (+100%) measured by blood lactate values...
