INSCYD Testing provides a 360-degree metabolic performance profile for athletes and training riders, and is a top training testing tool used by World Tour cycling teams (Female and Male)

You would receive a detailed report of your metabolic data, which You and Your coach (Kaizen, or other) use to tailor your training to your specific strengths and weaknesses. It’s a big step beyond FTP-only training zones. 

What will the INSCYD test give you?

• VO₂max (key for endurance)- Maximum aerobic capacity determines max amount of oxygen the body can utilize during exercise
• VLaMax (impacts power and endurance balance) – Maximal lactate production measures how quickly the body produces lactate
• Anaerobic Threshold (crucial for sustained efforts) – Intensity where lactate production and clearance are balanced
• Economy (better economy means less energy use) – Energy efficiency at a given intensities
• Fat Combustion (preserves glycogen and delays fatigue) – Rate of fat usage for energy
• Carbohydrate Combustion (essential for maintaining endurance during prolonged efforts) – Rate of carbohydrate usage for energy
• Fatigue and Recovery (informs training balance) – How quickly fatigue sets in and recovery occurs
• Energetic Contribution (guides targeted training) – Proportion of energy from aerobic vs. anaerobic systems
