INSCYD Performance Test and Metabolic Report

INSCYD Performance Testing is the most advanced training tool available to help you identify your unique physiology to get the most out of training and maximize performance. This test is the gold-standard for Cyclists, Runners and triathletes.

With INSCYD Performance Testing, you will receive a comprehensive performance profile and metabolic map after completing a simple field test which can be done from anywhere in the world.

What’s Included:

• A detailed pre-test PDF outlining the testing protocol and execution
• A 10-page Metabolic Profile Report illuminating your unique athlete profile and quantifying your unique physiological characteristics (Training Zones, Aerobic capacity, Fat-burning Efficiency, Lactate Tolerance, Fueling Demands, and more)
• A post-test phone call with Coach Sofi to interpret your report findings and provide training and fueling suggestions that match your goals

Identify the most important metrics for training purposes:

• VO2max (aerobic capacity)
• Anaerobic Threshold and Training Zones
• VLamax (anaerobic capacity)
• Fat Metabolism and Aerobic Efficiency
• Carbohydrate and Fueling Needs – identify exactly how many grams of carbs you need to consume at each training zone
• Lactate accumulation and recovery

Conventional and simple two-dimension “power versus duration” FTP (functional threshold power) testing models can’t explain how a power output is composed. Therefore, using those methods, will never make you understand your physiological limits and what offers the biggest room for improvement.

Forget the uncertainty of whether you are doing the most optimized training and correct fueling. 

*Note: Cyclists will need access to a bike with a power meter or a smart trainer, as well as a heart rate strap. Runners will need a smart watch (or any recording device) with GPS recording abilities. The test is also compatible with Stryd running power meters.
