CYCLING PERFORMANCE TESTING | INSCYD Metabolic Profiling
LABORATORY-GRADE INSIGHTS FOR ALL CYCLISTS
An INSCYD performance test provides far more than simple numbers - it gives you the deep insights required to fundamentally optimize your training. This advanced analysis provides a complete picture of your unique physiological profile, including how your energy systems function.
By integrating these scientific results and precise predictions directly into your training plan, we ensure that every single session contributes to your long-term development. Whether you are an elite racer or a dedicated enthusiast, our cycling performance testing is the key to unlocking your true potential.
Precision for Cyclists
Endura Consulting utilizes advanced INSCYD testing to provide road, gravel, and mountain bike riders with the ultimate foundation for training accuracy. By mapping your unique physiological profile, we eliminate guesswork and ensure optimal performance gains. An INSCYD test provides the critical data needed for both short-term adjustments and long-term development of your training plan.
Why the Metrics Matter
An INSCYD analysis offers a complete 360-degree view of your 'physical profile' by connecting all critical performance parameters. To design a holistic approach that realizes your full potential, it is crucial to understand the precise interplay between these key physiological training aspects:
-
Aerobic Capacity (VO2max)
-
Anaerobic Capacity (VLamax)
-
Anaerobic Threshold (Maximal Lactate Steady State)
-
Fat Combustion Rates (FatMax)
-
Carbohydrate Combustion Rates (CarbMax)
-
Lactate Accumulation and Recovery
Since all these physiological parameters are interconnected, they must be addressed with scientific precision to ensure your training is effective. This data allows us to build a truly personalized and optimized performance strategy for your training process.
INSCYD TESTING SOLUTIONS: REMOTE & IN-PERSON
We offer two distinct INSCYD testing solutions to fit your needs:
-
INSCYD Power Performance Decoder (PPD) Testing: Our comprehensive remote testing and analysis solution. This allows cyclists worldwide to benefit from professional-grade physiological insights using their own equipment. The PPD test provides a highly accurate map of your physiological profile without the need for lab visits.
-
INSCYD Lactate Testing: Hands-on, high-precision lactate testing services. This face-to-face analysis is conducted in a controlled environment to ensure laboratory-grade data. Note: This service is currently only offered in Denmark.
Below you can dive deeper into our two testing options to find the perfect fit for your training process and development. If you have any questions about which test aligns best with your training plan or goals, please feel free to contact us.
INSCYD PPD TEST: REMOTE PHYSIOLOGICAL PROFILING
The INSCYD Power Performance Decoder (PPD) is a professional-grade remote testing solution based on power data. This allows you to perform high-precision performance analysis within your own training environment, anywhere in the world.
The PPD Test offers a sophisticated remote setup. By completing specific efforts in your own training and submitting the data, we utilize the 'INSCYD Software' to provide a complete physiological profile. This enables a level of individualization previously reserved for professional lab environments, tailored specifically to your unique goals and weaknesses.
Scientifically Validated: The INSCYD PPD has been rigorously tested against laboratory-grade metabolic carts, ensuring that your results are as accurate as traditional lab testing.
Simple Protocol: The test follows a straightforward protocol consisting of 3 all-out efforts of different durations (20 seconds, 3 minutes, and 12-30 minutes) performed over a period of 1-3 days.
INSCYD LACTATE TESTING: IN-PERSON PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
The INSCYD Lactate Test is a high-precision field test utilizing direct lactate measurements. Performed on your own bike under the expert guidance of our coach, this test captures your real-world performance data with laboratory-grade accuracy.
By measuring how your body produces and clears lactate during exercise, we can define your physiological profile and identify your exact metabolic strengths and weaknesses. This is the ultimate tool for ensuring your training plan is 100% optimized for your unique physiology.
The INSCYD Lactate Test offers a professional field test setup. We meet at a designated location, where you are guided through a precise test protocol. Afterward, your data is analyzed using the 'INSCYD Software' to provide a complete physiological profile. This level of detail makes your coaching and training more individualized, specifically targeting your unique goals, strengths, and weaknesses.
The INSCYD Lactate Test has been rigorously tested and validated for accuracy against physiological laboratory tests. This ensures that your results are as reliable and accurate as those from a traditional laboratory environment, giving you the confidence to train with 100% precision.
The lactate test protocol is a straightforward 4-phase process, consisting of 3x6 minute submaximal efforts followed by a 3-4 minute all-out effort. Lactate sampling is done continuously throughout the test. To estimate your VLamax and complete your metabolic map, a 20-second sprint effort is typically added to the protocol.
