How It Works

Data Collection

Collect data in the field or remotely without extra Equipment

Save time and resources by testing athletes in any environment—field, lab, or remote—without losing accuracy. Use GPS watches, power meters, and lactate analyzers to run assessments anywhere. Seamlessly fit testing into regular training routines and get precise, actionable data—every time.

  • Perform assessments on your athletes wherever they are, without being tied to a lab.
  • Easily fit testing protocols into regular training environment without disruption.

Where Science
Fuels Performance

In the evolving world of sports, relying on general metrics and training methods is no longer sufficient. You can’t improve what you don’t measure.

The physiology of every athlete is unique, and therefore, training must reflect this to achieve the best outcomes. This principle guides everything we do.

Join us to transform your training with personalized, scientifically-backed solutions, enabling critical and effective decisions for a real impact on performance.

Most frequent questions and answers

INSCYD is not a training platform where a coach creates training programs or communicates to the athlete what the athlete should do. INSCYD is the platform where the coach discovers what the athlete should focus on in training.

INSCYD is a tool currently only available for coaches, labs, federations and universities. To begin using INSCYD, you need to book a personal demo here.If you are an athlete, you can tell your coach about INSCYD, or find a INSCYD coach/lab here. 

Absolutely not. No formal exercise science knowledge is needed to effectively use INSCYD. It is designed to be accessible to users with varying levels of expertise. We offer thorough support and resources, including contextual materials, consultations and INSCYD College, where users can take courses to deepen their sports science knowledge.

INSCYD has been successfully used by hundreds of coaches and athletes for exactly these target customers. Very limited time for training makes efficient training necessary. INSCYD identifies performance areas which offer the greatest potential for improvement. Now, it is possible to focus training on exactly these domains, maximizing the time investment vs. training effect relation.

For performance labs seeking to maximize their capabilities and offer comprehensive insights to their clients, INSCYD presents a unique opportunity. By integrating INSCYD, labs can fully harness the power of their existing equipment, generating a holistic metabolic profile in less than an hour. This not only streamlines the process but also interconnects various crucial metrics such as VO2max, VLamax, fat and carbohydrate utilization, energy cost of locomotion, a complete lactate profile, training zones, and more into a single, comprehensive analysis. INSCYD enables labs to observe how these metrics influence each other, such as the impact of VLamax on threshold values or VO2max on fat combustion rates, instead of having these metrics separate from each other. This integrated approach not only saves time but also provides deeper, interconnected insights into an athlete’s performance, offering greater value to your clients with significantly less time commitment.
 
 

Using INSCYD enables you to create full performance profiles of your athletes- like they would only get in the most advanced human performance labs – if even there. Obtaining this information only takes a few minutes of your personal time. You are able to prescribe much more specific and focused training programs, because you now know much more about the limiting factors of your athletes.

Furthermore, you will have a unique upsell opportunity to create extra revenue. In contrast to simply taking on more clients, the personal time commitment for you is minimal. The additional revenue stream created with INSCYD is approx. 20-35% (of the total business revenue) with an extra time commitment of approximately 4h per athlete coached per year!
