Whole Body Vibration
The principle of the Galileo vibration platform is a side alternating motion similar to a childrens seesaw. Both the amplitude of movement and the frequency of movement may be altered. Frequency may be controlled on the device and settings range from 5Hz to 30Hz. Amplitude of movement is set by spreading one's legs further apart from the midline. Control arm participants remain fixed at 5Hz through the 6 week training period, while intervention arm participants steadily increase their frequency to a maximum of 28Hz.
