One main aim during human movement is to keep the head in a still
and upright position, as the human equilibrium and visual system
require motionlessness to function properly. Galileo's patented
system assures that no significant vibration is transferred to the
head.
Galileo-training provides the same stimuli as in human gait which
enhances basic muscle function and muscular interaction. This stimuli
results in an increase in muscle power. Muscle power can benefit
everyone and is a key factor when it comes to fall prevention (falls
are the main reason for hip and femur fractures).
Top athletes use the Galileo to increase muscle power, however Galileo-Training
puts very low stress on the cardiovascular system which makes it
perfectly suitable for elderly patients and those who may not have
trained for a long period of time.
During Galileo-Training all muscles of the legs, back and abdomen
participate actively - however training focus may be varied by posture,
stiffness and slow movements during training.
