Medium frequencies (approx. 10-20 Hz)
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 reflex cycles is approx.
67 milliseconds (thousandths of a second). After the reflex-controlled
contraction, the remaining time until the next contraction is sufficient 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 effectively. 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 fitness centre. Another decisive factor is that the muscle activity
in the Galileo Training does not have to be deliberately controlled, but can be
reflex-based and therefore largely uninfluenced 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 effects:
• Improvement of muscle function and coordination
• Muscle relaxation
• Stretching of the muscular and tendon apparatus
•
Improvement of flexibility
• Relaxation of the back muscles
• Muscle length training
•
Fascia training
• 12-14 Hz: Reduction of sore muscles
High frequencies (approx. 20 - 36 Hz)
At high frequencies, the muscle does not have enough time to achieve
complete relaxation within the short time between two cycles. Rather, the
muscle is forced to contract again when it is about to relax or is already
partially relaxed. As a result, inter- and intramuscular coordination in
particular is trained with greater forces and within very short periods of time,
which ultimately leads to an increase in the muscular performance.
Positive effects:
Tone increase
Increase of muscle performance
Restoration of muscle strength
