Research on Galileo vibration training in relation to Sports & Fitness
Sports
- Vibration Stimulation results in faster warming up
This was concluded by researchers in their study, published in the authoritative journal The European Journal of Applied Physiology, in which 3 types of warming up are compared. The Galileo stimulation caused a rise in temperature 2 to 3 times more quickly compared to a warm up on a home trainer or a warm bath. The warming up led to a 10% increase in jump height. More information on pubmed.
- One minute stimulation Galileo delivers 6% more power
Athletes from Brigham Young University gave 6% more power during a sprint start after 1 session of 60 seconds Galileo stimulation.
- Galileo stimulation reduces muscle pain and speeds recovery after training
Six minutes Galileo stimulation at low frequency triggered a faster recovery in the form of less muscle pain and more power supply. This was concluded by researchers at Massey University in New Zealand. The study will be published shortly.
- New publications demonstrate the value of Galileo stimulation in sports
Application of Galileo stimulation provides a better preparation in a training or competition. Both flexibility and jump height increased more than at a common warm-up. These studies were published in 'The Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research', Number 4, 2006.
- Hand-Galileo increases mobility in the shoulders
The hand-Galileo increases mobility in the shoulder of athletes. Vibration Stimulation with hand-Galileo is a vital component to improve the mobility of the shoulder (International Journal of Sports Medicine, november 2009).
Fitness
- 2 x 6 minutes per day Galileo training is sufficient to stay physically fit
This was proved by researchers of the Space Agency in their latest study, published in the European Journal of Applied Physiology.
- Whole Body Vibration (WBV) slows down adipogenesis (fat increase) and risk factors for type II diabetes
Obesity is a rapidly growing problem in Western society. Physical activity may slow down or even reduce obesity. In practice it seems difficult for many people to deliver the required physical effort. A recent publication shows that 15 minutes a day WBV in mice leads to a decrease in obesity of 27% and an even stronger decrease in risk factors in the blood related to type II diabetes. (Proc Natl Acad Sci U.S. A. 2007 November 6, 104 (45)). This reinforces the findings of studies which demonstrated that the basal metabolism increases and type II diabetes can be better controlled with WBV.
- Galileo training reduces body weight by 15%
Research indicates that CFS patients with Galileo training leads to a decrease in BMI and weight reduction of 15%, while muscle strength increases significantly. Dr. Saggini of the University of Chieti (Italy) has demonstrated that this unique form of therapy (sessions every other day, 8 minutes per session) leads to significant improvements in strength and wellbeing in the CVS group. The VAS scores - a test that measures the level of complaints - shows an improvement of 9.5 grade (poor) to 3 (good) for fatigue, myalgia, mood, quality of life and employment.
