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.
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!
