Endura Consulting offers INSCYD testing in order to provide athletes with the best possible conditions for training accuracy and performance optimization.

​

Are you one of the many cyclists or mountainbikers solely focusing on FTP? Do you find it hard to keep improving your numbers in training or your overall performance level in competition?

 

If yes, then it might be time to start looking at other important performance parameters like VLamax, VO2max and FATmax!

 

VLamax, VO2max and FATmax are very important performance parameters to consider in relation to what you, as an athlete, specifically want to improve in training to perform better in competition. If you include these in your training, together with your anaerobic threshold, then improvements are much more likely to happen, as you not only consider one parameter (FTP), but take into account different energy system and how they affect each other!

 

An INSCYD-test can help you beyond ‘just the numbers’, and give you new insights in training and optimize your level of performance.

About INSCYD testing

The INSCYD test is a very comprehensive test method and performance analysing tool, that generates a metabolic profile of an athlete including key-data on VLamax, VO2max, anaerobic threshold and FATmax. Further individualized training zones based on your metabolic profile, will help you train more specifically and target strengths and weaknesses.  

 

As performance is composed of a variety of components and metrics, it is not precisely enough to focus solely on FTP, heart rate, or your 'rate of perceived exertion'. Then you will miss accuracy and efficiency in your training. With an INSCYD test, you will get to know both your aerobic and anaerobic energy systems, and how to use them I training, in order to optimize training quality.

 

• Looking at VLamax, as an example. VLamax is the maximum production of lactic acid in your blood and gives you a complete understanding of your anaerobic metabolism, which is crucial in endurance events.

 

• Looking at VO2max, as an example. VO2max is the maximum aerobic capacity, which is a measure of how big your engine is, which is crucial in endurance events.  

 

If we know both your anaerobic and aerobic metabolism, training can be tailored to match the desired outcomes.

 

INSCYD takes into account, and connect important training metrics to one another:

 

• VLamax (glycolytic capacity)

• VO2max

• Anaerobic threshold

• Lactate accumulation and recovery

• Fat and carbohydrates combustion

• Recovery

​

Each of the above metrics measured by INSCYD is critical to performance, and therefore needs to be considered in training.

 

To sum up:

An INSCYD-test can help you beyond ‘just the numbers’, and give you new insights in training to optimize your level of performance.​

​

INSCYD is for all athletes – no matter level, age and gender.
