INSCYD metabolic profile (with lactate)

The physiological benchmark analysis

1. The equivalent of a laboratory test, at Vélo Cartel

INSCYD is an advanced physiological analysis platform capable of measuring the same key parameters as a laboratory test... without going through a hospital laboratory.

At Vélo Cartel, the test is carried out using a structured and controlled protocol, in less than 90 minutes.

The accuracy and reliability of INSCYD analyses have made it a benchmark tool for elite federations, professional coaches, and numerous university laboratories around the world.

2. A complete map of your metabolism

The INSCYD test provides a detailed map of your energy metabolism. It pinpoints your position on the power ↔ endurance continuum and highlights your strengths, limitations, and true levers for progress.

You get, in particular:

• VO₂max – maximum aerobic capacity
• VLamax – glycolytic/anaerobic capacity
• Physiological thresholds and individualized training zones
• FatMax – maximum fat burning intensity
• Hold time from 20 seconds to 75 minutes
• Carbohydrate consumption according to intensity

This data allows you to understand precisely how your body produces energy—and, above all, how to tailor your training in a targeted and effective way.

3. Tangible benefits for your training and performance

When training time is limited, each session must produce a real return on investment.

INSCYD allows you to optimize your training by identifying the intensities and zones that generate the most progress, in perfect harmony with your physiology.

At the end of the test, you will know specifically:

• Which training strategies should you prioritize to effectively progress toward your goals?
• How to adjust your nutrition to exercise based on your metabolic profile
• Accurately predict your performance in your upcoming races

At Vélo Cartel, the INSCYD metabolic profile transforms complex scientific data into clear, measurable, performance-oriented training decisions.
