INSCYD Testing
cycling performance testing
The INSCYD test provides far more than simple numbers—it gives you deep insight, allowing you to fundamentally optimize your training.
This advanced test gives you a complete picture of your physical abilities, including how your energy systems function. We integrate the scientific test results and precise predictions directly into your plan, so you know that every single training session contributes to your development.
Precision for Cyclists
Endura Consulting uses INSCYD testing to give road, gravel, and mountainbike riders the best possible foundation for training accuracy and optimal performance gains.
Why the Metrics Matter
The INSCYD test provides a complete picture of your 'physical profile' by mapping and connecting all critical performance parameters. To plan a training process that realizes your full potential, it is crucial to know the precise values for the following:
-
Aerobic Capacity (VO2max)
-
Anaerobic Capacity (VLamax)
-
Anaerobic Threshold (AT)
-
Fat Combustion Rates (FatMax)
-
Carbohydrate Combustion Rates (CarbMax)
-
Lactate Accumulation and Recovery
Since all these parameters are interconnected, they must be addressed precisely to ensure your training plan works.
INSCYD Test Options
We offer two distinct INSCYD testing solutions to fit your needs:
-
INSCYD Power Performance Decoder (PPD) Testing: Comprehensive remote testing and analysis.
INSCYD Power Performance Decoder Testing (PPD Test)
-
INSCYD Lactate Testing: Hands-on lactate testing services (only offered in Denmark).
Below you can read more about our two testing options. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.
INSCYD PPD Test
The INDCYD Power Performance Decoder Test (PPD test) which is a remote test based on power, so you can do it on your own in training.
The PPD Test offers a remote test set-up, which means that you can do the testing at home during training, send data to your coach, and then it will be analysed in the ‘INSCYD Software' to provide a complete performance profile. Thus making training more individualized and specific in relation to your goals, strengths and weaknesses.
The INSCYD Power Performance Decoder test has been tested and validated for accuracy against physiological laboratory tests, which means that results are as accurate as laboratory testing.
The PPD test protocol is a straight forward protocol, where you have to perform 3 all-out efforts of different durations (20 second, 3 minute and 12-30 minute) over 1-3 days.
INSCYD Lactate Test
The INSCYD Lactate Test which is a field based test with lactate measurements, so you will perform the test outside on your own bike under guidance of an experienced coach.
The Lactate Test offers a field test set-up, which means that we meet up on a given location, and then you will be guided through the test protocol. Afterwards test data will analysed in the ‘INSCYD Software' to provide a complete performance profile. Thus making your training more individualized and specific in relation to your goals, strengths and weaknesses.
The INSCYD Lactate Test has been tested and validated for accuracy against physiological laboratory tests, which means that results are as accurate as laboratory testing.
The lactate test protocol is a straight forward 4 phase protocol, consisting of 3x6 minute submaximal efforts followed by a 3-4 minute all-out effort. Lactate sampling is done continuosly during testing. Normally a 20 second sprint effort will be added to estimate VLamax.
