Why you need to complete an INSCYD metabolic/Lactic Threshold test
The performance you are looking for is composed of a variety of components and metrics, but if you focus only on FTP/power output or heart rates zones, you’ll miss out on accuracy and efficiency. Your metabolic test will help you to identify your individual rate limiters and the specific areas of your physiology you need to sharpen to achieve your goals. Finally, you have access to a test that's no longer just for the pros. It's for anyone that wants to train smarter, not harder - everyone!
What are the key benefits of a metabolic/Lactic Threshold test?
Physiology Breakdown
Provides you with a comprehensive look at the layers of your physiology that enable your actual performance.
Steps to Improve
Explains what your performance is composed of and what you can do to increase it.
Helpful Predictions
Lets you project future performances based on training improvements.
Performance Insights
Understand the interaction between your aerobic system and your fueling needs so you can answer “How much should I consume per hour in order to maintain my performance?”.
The Results
INSCYD takes into account and connects the most important metrics for training purposes:
VO2max – maximum aerobic capacity
VLamax – maximum glycolytic (anaerobic) capacity
Anaerobic threshold and how it is composed
Accumulation of Lactate and how quickly you can recover from it
Fat combustion rate across intensities and FatMax
Carbohydrate combustion during training & racing across intensities
Economy – how much energy you need at a given speed
Each of the above metrics is measured by INSCYD and is critical for your performance. Remember: each sport performance is predictable and can be broken down into these fundamental elements.
How It Works
You need to book an appoint and be dressed to test on time
Bring your riding shoes and athletic/cycling clothes to wear during the test
Bring some water or sports drink to stay hydrated
Assessment takes about 2 hours to complete
You’ll warm-up and then complete a series of prescriptive intervals on a fully adjustable bike
The Results
You’ll immediately receive a report to review with the lab technician and can discuss any questions you have
You'll get key metrics to help you create the most effective individual training plan for your next event
Insights into your metabolic efficiency to properly fuel your body for maximum performance
