Medium frequencies (approx. 10-20Hz)

The training goal at medium frequencies of 10 to 20 Hertz (oscillations per second) is the training of the muscle function

as such. At a training frequency of 15 Hertz, for example, the time between two reex cycles is approx. 67 milliseconds

(thousandths of a second). After the reex-controlled contraction, the remaining time until the next contraction is

sucient for the muscle to relax again. The average physiological time for a complete contraction/relaxation cycle is

only about 50 milliseconds. This is particularly important when the basic functions of the muscle, namely the ability to

contract and relax as well as coordination, are to be trained eectively. Due to the large number of repetitions

(e.g.3 minutes Galileo training at 18 Hertz = 3,240 cycles) the improvement of the muscle functions can be achieved

considerably faster than with most other training methods such as machine training in the tness centre.

Another decisive factor is that the muscle activity in the Galileo Training does not have to be deliberately controlled, but

can be reex-based and therefore largely uninuenced by the will of the user. This ensures that the control cycles

consisting of muscle bands/tendons/cartilage nerves can be improved independently. At the same time, the entire

muscle chain and thus its coordination can always be trained to a large extent. The decisive factor for this coordination

training is that the entire muscle chain can be stimulated in a physiologically appropriate pattern similar to the human

gait. This is why we also speak of mechano-stimulation of the muscles.

Positive eects:

• Improvement of muscle function and coordination

• Muscle relaxation

• Stretching of the muscular and tendon apparatus

• Improvement of exibility

• Relaxation of the back muscles

• Muscle length training

• Fascia training

• 12-14Hz: Reduction of sore muscles
