With INSCYD and Azum, you have two powerful tools at your disposal that can take your coaching business to the next level. INSCYD enables you to gather crucial data on your athletes’ performance and metabolic analysis through precise diagnostics. These data can be transferred to Azum with just one click, where they can be used for individualized training planning. This allows you to cater to the specific needs of your athletes and create targeted training stimuli to optimally promote their performance development.
INSCYD: Precise Analysis for Effective Training Management
INSCYD provides a solid foundation for defining training intensities based on comprehensive performance and metabolic data. With this information, you can tailor your athletes’ training precisely. But how can these data be efficiently integrated into daily training planning? This is where Azum comes into play.
Azum: Flexibility in Training Planning and Monitoring
Azum gives you the flexibility to create training sessions based on the training intensities determined by INSCYD and to closely monitor your athletes’ metabolic processes, such as carbohydrate and fat burning. Azum offers a high degree of customization, allowing you to use your preferred training zone model (e.g., 7-, 5-, or 3-zone model). The system provides a clearly structured weekly overview, where you can analyze the time your athletes have spent in each training zone.
Note:
- Training Intensities: These are used for planning the training sessions.
- Training Zones: These are used for monitoring the completed sessions. The intensities are essentially subordinate to the zones.
It is important to understand the difference between zones and intensities. Why? Learn more about it here.
INSCYD: More Than Just Performance Diagnostics
INSCYD is a performance diagnostic software primarily used in endurance sports such as cycling, triathlon, and running. It provides detailed insights into an athlete’s physiological parameters. Beyond analyzing performance data like power output and heart rate, INSCYD offers in-depth insights into metabolic processes.
Key Features of INSCYD:
- Metabolic Analysis: Examination of energy balance (aerobic and anaerobic metabolism) and the athlete’s ability to utilize fats and carbohydrates.
- VO2max & VLamax: Measurement of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) and maximal lactate production rate (VLamax), two critical parameters for endurance performance.
- Lactate Curve Analysis: Tracks how lactate levels evolve at different intensities and helps determine the aerobic and anaerobic thresholds.
- Energy Expenditure & Carbohydrate Intake: Provides insights into energy consumption at various intensities and supports optimizing nutrition strategies for training and competition.
- Training Optimization: With the obtained data, athletes can train more precisely, improving weaknesses and leveraging strengths.
How to Use INSCYD:
- Data Collection: Athletes perform standardized tests on a bike ergometer or while running, collecting data such as power, heart rate, lactate concentration, and respiratory gases.
- Input & Analysis: The collected data is entered into INSCYD, which uses a mathematical model to analyze and interpret the data.
- Report: INSCYD generates a detailed report covering all relevant physiological parameters, including VO2max, VLamax, lactate production rate, and energy supply.
- Training Management & Competition Preparation: The analysis helps develop targeted training plans and optimize nutrition strategies.
INSCYD is used by professional teams, coaches, and ambitious amateur athletes to gain detailed physiological insights that are difficult to obtain with conventional methods.
