Advanced metabolic testing you can do anywhere with your own equipment

What is INSCYD Testing?

INSCYD (pronounced "INSIDE") is a cutting-edge physiological testing protocol that allows us to measure your complete metabolic profile without requiring you to visit our lab. Using sophisticated algorithms, INSCYD analyzes data from a series of specific intervals you perform on your own.

Available for both cycling (with a power meter) and running (with a GPS watch), this testing method provides exceptional accuracy while offering maximum convenience for athletes who can't visit our facility or prefer to test in their natural training environment.

How It Works

  1. You receive a specific testing protocol with detailed instructions

  2. Perform the test intervals on your bike or during a run

  3. Upload your power/pace and heart rate data to us

  4. We analyze your data through the INSCYD system

  5. Receive a comprehensive metabolic profile and training zones
