What is INSCYD testing?

‘Virtual Lab’ – INSCYD captures all the data you would get in a lab – and more – in a simple field test.

INSCYD PPD provides the same level of accuracy as lab testing, with a much deeper look at an athletes unique characteristics.

​

What do you get from an INSCYD test?

PPD offers up the following data:

•Maximum aerobic performance (VO2max)

•Maximum glycolytic performance (VLamax)

•Accumulation and recovery of lactate

•Fat and Carbohydrate combustion rates

•Aerobic vs. anaerobic energy contribution ratios

•Anaerobic Threshold

This athlete profile allows athletes and coaches to measure and quantify the respective athlete’s unique characteristics, resulting in a laser focused training to improve race performances and help athletes reach goals.

​

The best part is that all this can be obtained from your normal training environment indoors or outside with just a power meter!

​

In simple terms the athlete receives a complete metabolic profile whilst completes a '360 degree view' to athletic performance. This can be used to create specific training zones, build fuelling strategies and refine pacing strategy!

Derived and based only on fundamental, peer reviewed basic science, INSCYD’s Power-Performance Decoder is used by the highest ranked cyclists and triathletes around the world. Utilised by teams such as JUMBO-VISMA and Alpecin-Fenix. Testing and benchmarking has been done in direct comparison to lactate- and lab testing, ensuring top-level accuracy is guaranteed, AND validated
