Power-Performance Decoder

Get a view of your physical capabilities through a remote PPD test.

- INSCYD is for all athletes.
- INSCYD will benefit your training schedule and performance with both a scientific foundation and precise predictability.
- INSCYD will give you the full picture of your physical capacities.
 
The performance you are looking for is composed of a variety of components and metrics, but if you only focus on FTP, heart rate zones, or keep training

only according to your Rate of Perceived Exertion, you’ll miss accuracy and efficiency.
 
For example, with INSCYD you can finally understand the interactions between your aerobic system and your fuelling needs. Do you wonder, “How much

should I consume per hour in order to maintain my performance?” With INSCYD, you'll know.
 
INSCYD takes into account, and connects the most important metrics for training purposes:

- VO2max

- Anaerobic threshold

- Lactate accumulation and recovery

- Fat and carbohydrates combustion

- VLamax (or glycolytic capacity)

- Recovery

To do the test, cyclists need to have access to a bike with a power meter or a smart trainer. Runners only need a GPS watch.

The PPD protocol consists of a series of tests that can be performed over the course of maximum 3 days, but you can also choose to do them in

1 session which takes about 90 minutes. The test durations are:

-  20 seconds

-  3 minutes

-  6 minutes

- 12 minutes

Once you have signed up for test you will be sent a detailed protocol on how to make sure you get the best performance out of them. After we

have analyzed your results, you get your full metabolic profile and report with zones.

Innovative
• ‘Virtual Lab’ – INSCYD captures all the data you would get in a lab – and more – in a simple field test.
• Ability to combine power data, with laboratory data (lactate or VO2).
• INSCYD PPD provides the same level of accuracy as lab testing, with a much deeper look at an athletes unique characteristics.

Accessible and Fast
• Easy and fast – An athlete completes the protocol in less than 90 minutes, and we are able to complete an athlete assessment, using INSCYD’s software.
• Time savings and ability to train from literally anywhere.
 

Athlete-first Assessment
• 360 degree athlete performance profile
• Validated – by world tour teams, peer reviewed science, medal winning performances
• Stay one step ahead, with the most proven way to gain watts/time/efficiency.

 What makes INSCYD Power-Performance Decoder Unique:

• Test remotely. In less than 90 minutes, an athlete is able to complete the test protocol -
on their own, by simply following a simple protocol of 4 intervals.
• Coaches upload this training file to INSCYD, creating the most complete and accurate metabolic
profile available today.
• Results as accurate as laboratory testing.
• The only physiological assessment tool which captures aerobic and anaerobic performance.
• Men and women are physiologically different – INSCYD takes this into account, providing a
different calculation for women. This means the unique physiology of a woman is now being
captured in the same – simple to execute – test.
• Multidimensional data input. INSCYD uses power, lactate and/or VO2 data. No matter the data,
INSCYD provides the most complete athlete profile available.
• Only tool that takes the athletes body composition into accout and normalizes the performance
data to it.
