“The world’s most advanced physiological performance analysis software”
Thoroughly tested by pro teams and coaches.
Validated by over 150 studies, INSCYD’s PPD and Lactate test is used by world tour riders and teams such as Visma - Lease a Bike, Bora, and UAE Team Emirates.
INSCYD will benefit your training accuracy and performance with both a scientific foundation and precise predictability.
INSCYD will:
provide you with a comprehensive look at the layers of your physiology that enable your actual performance.
explain to you how your performance is composed and what you can do to increase it.
let you project further performances based on training improvements.
INSCYD takes into account, and connects, the most important metrics for training purposes:
VO2max – maximum aerobic capacity
VLamax – maximum glycolytic (anaerobic) capacity
Anaerobic threshold and how it is composed
Accumulation of lactate and how quickly you can recover from it/ clear it
Fat combustion rate and FatMax
Carbohydrate combustion during training & racing
AN EXAMPLE OF HOW WOUT VAN AERT USES INSCYD:
Wout van Aert is very successful both in cyclocross and on the road. You may wonder how he shapes his training throughout the year to be able to perform in both disciplines. INSCYD is one of the keys!
For cyclocross, Wout requires a high VLamax since the races are short and very explosive. However, a High Vlamax comes with a cost: a high VLamax means that more carbohydrates (a limited source of energy) are burned quickly.
Using the INSCYD test Wout and his coach were able to identify that his VLamax was too high for his goals in road races.
Lowering Vlamax immediately decreases the amount of carbohydrates burned during any exercise intensity, “keeps my sugars (carbohydrates) for the final, so I don’t waste them already in the beginning.” A decrease in VLamax will also increase the Anaerobic Threshold (FTP), all other things being equal.
Therefore Wout focused his training sessions and plan on lowering Vlamax for road racing.
