INSCYD - Power Performance Decoder (Cycling/Running)
Inner Athlete Coaching now offers the INSCYD Power Performance Decoder (PPD) for remote metabolic athlete testing. The PPD provides accurate data on maximum aerobic and glycolytic performance, lactate accumulation and recovery, fat and carbohydrate combustion rates, and more. Coaches can use this data to create a laser-focused training plan to improve race performances and help athletes reach their goals. INSCYD is a leading scientific software used by top cycling, triathlon, swim, speed skating, and rowing teams/federations and coaches. Testing and benchmarking has been done in direct comparison to lactate- and lab testing, ensuring top-level accuracy is guaranteed, AND validated.
Unlike a standard 20-minute FTP test, INSCYD offers a comprehensive analysis of your endurance performance, enabling your coach to craft highly personalized training plans tailored to your physiological strengths and weaknesses.
With just one test, you'll receive a complete 360° metabolic profile that includes:
-
VO2max
-
VLamax (glycolytic capacity)
-
FatMax (fat combustion rates)
-
Carbohydrate combustion
-
Lactate accumulation and recovery
-
Aerobic and anaerobic energy contribution
The test includes four specific maximum efforts:
-
12 seconds
-
3 minutes
-
12 minutes
You can perform these efforts at home or outdoors on your own bike. After completing the test, you’ll receive a full physiological performance profile, detailing all key metrics available in INSCYD. Results are delivered as a PDF via email within 24 hours of test completion & coach Will will follow up with a call to discuss & go over the test results
Then, you can:
-
Send your results directly to your coach, who can integrate them into your training program.
-
Schedule consultation with us to walk through your results, understand the metrics, and learn how to apply them to your training.
Key facts about Power-Performance Decoder:
-
Accuracy: Standard tolerance is on par with state-of-the-art lab testing, e.g. VO2max divergence is 2.5%, threshold is 2.2% - in line with the most accurate metabolic carts (and without requiring power meter conversions from lab to training equipment).
-
Capture race decisive glycolytic power (VLamax) without the need to visit a lab.
-
The secret weapon of professional coaches is now available to all coaches using INSCYD.
-
Reporting - Athletes get a 360-degree physiological assessment
-
Coaches can now test remotely – for the first time ever, coaches don’t have to be with their athletes for performance testing.
-
Athletes complete a field test on their own time, alone. When done, the athlete submits the ride file for their coach to input into INSCYD.
-
Renders traditional physiological lab testing OBSOLETE – Faster, less expensive, more accurate, all without the overhead of measuring lactate and or VO2
