INSCYD Power-Performance Decoder (PPD) Test
INSCYD PPD provides the same level of accuracy as lab testing
“INSCYD Power-Performance Decoder allows us to continue testing our riders despite
the distance between us,” Marco Pinotti Team Bike Exchange Head of Performance
“INSCYD testing especially helps my coaches to help create the best training
programs for us.” Primoz Roglic 2019, 2020 2021, Vuelta a España Winner
"Thanks to INSCYD, my trainer and I always know where I currently stand and where I can
improve my performance." Wout van Aert 2022 Tour De France Points Winner
Sparks Into Life offers the INSCYD Power Performance Decoder (PPD) for remote athlete testing. The PPD provides accurate data on maximum aerobic and glycolytic performance, lactate accumulation and recovery, fat and carbohydrate combustion rates, and more. Coaches can use this data to create a laser-focused training plan to improve race performances and help athletes reach their goals. INSCD is a leading scientific software used by top cycling, triathlon, swim, speed skating, and rowing teams/federations and coaches. Testing and benchmarking has been done in direct comparison to lactate- and lab testing, ensuring top-level accuracy is guaranteed, AND validated.
PPD offers up the following data:
• Maximum aerobic performance (VO2max)
• Maximum glycolytic performance (VLamax)
• Accumulation and recovery of lactate
• Fat and Carbohydrate combustion rates
• Aerobic v anaerobic energy contribution ratios
This athlete profile allows coaches to measure
and quantify the respective athlete’s unique
characteristics, resulting in a laser focused
training plan to improve race performances
and help athletes reach goals.
Key facts about Power-Performance Decoder:
-
Accuracy: Standard tolerance is on par with state-of-the-art lab testing, e.g. VO2max divergence is 2.5%, threshold is 2.2% - in line with the most accurate metabolic carts (and without requiring power meter conversions from lab to training equipment).
-
Capture race decisive glycolytic power (VLamax) without the need to visit a lab. The secret weapon of professional coaches is now available to all coaches using INSCYD.
-
Reporting - Athletes get a 360-degree physiological assessment
-
Coaches can now test remotely – for the first time ever, coaches don’t have to be with their athletes for performance testing. Athletes complete a field test on their own time, alone. When done, the athlete submits the ride file for their coach to input into INSCYD.
-
Renders traditional physiological lab testing OBSOLETE – Faster, less expensive, more accurate, all without the overhead of measuring lactate and or VO2
About INSCYD
Founded in 2017, INSCYD is the leading scientific software, used by top cycling, triathlon, swim, speed skating, and rowing teams/federations and coaches. INSCYD has been called the 'perfect solution to understand how training affects the adoption of specific physiological systems’ by Dennis Sandig, of the German Triathlon Federation. INSCYD offers coaches and lab owners software for power testing, lactate testing and lab testing (metabolic cart).
