This study investigated the effects of 3 months of Galileo Therapy on Creatine Kinase (CK) levels in Duchenne (DMD) patients. The kids trained with increasing intensity (5-20Hz, 2*1-2*2 minutes, 3 times per week) over a period of 3 months. The study showed a massive decrease in CK levels with increasing duration of the therapy by up to 98%. However, it has to be noted that the study only included two patients. <\/p>\n

INevertheless, it is very interesting that the CK levels in both decreased with increasing duration and intensity of the training (15-20Hz, 2*2 minutes) which both could potentially be the reason for the effect. The results are in line with other studies that showed a significant reduction of CK levels using a Galileo Training cool-down protocol (13Hz) after very intense resistance training (#GRFS5<\/a>) as well as after intense endurance training (#GRFS46<\/a>) and much lower CK levels compared to resistance training (#GRFS90<\/a>). <\/p>\n

Low CK levels are of importance for Duchenne patients, sine CK is believed to indicate the amount of damage on the muscle fiber level which is cause by training or any usage of the muscle \u2013 low CK levels therefore indicate low damages of the system and therefore positive for the patients.<\/p>\n
