In this interview with CrossFit Seminar Staff member Joe Westerlin (CF-L4), Jenkins begins to explain the reasons for the academic bias toward aerobic exercise. He states that current guidelines recommending 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise are the byproduct of consensus science. Such recommendations are not supported by health metrics and data.
Dr. Nathan Jenkins is an integrative exercise physiologist and professor of exercise science at the University of Georgia. He is also a CrossFit athlete. His primary research interest is in determining the impact of acute and chronic exercise on cardiovascular and metabolic health. On Thursday, Sept. 17, at 5 p.m. PT, he will offer a live webinar with CrossFit Health, focusing on his current research into the science behind mainstream exercise guidelines.
During the webinar, Jenkins will discuss the causes and stakes associated with the absence of training involving the glycolytic energy pathway in the mainstream exercise prescription.

Comments on Dr. Nathan Jenkins: Aerobic Bias in Exercise
I really look forward to the webinar.
The aerobic bias in exercise guidelines, in my opinion, has a lot to do with the involvement of doctors in crafting these guidelines. It is assumed that since cardio involves the heart, hence the name "cardio", it must be good for preventing heart attacks. Therefore, everyone should be doing it since every one of us has a heart. But who should strength train?
Women and girls were told that weight training would make them bulky and muscular (as if this could happen overnight). So, that eliminated half the population right there.
Parents were told that weight training would stunt a child's growth. So, no kids. And I'm sure seniors were told it was too strenuous.
Joe Weider was promoting bodybuilding as the way for scrawny young men to get jacked, meet girls, and not get sand kicked in their faces. So, I guess that leaves out married guys. With the exception of single men in their late-teens to whenever they get married, no one should be lifting weights and everyone should be doing cardio.
Thankfully, modern research and real-world practice has demonstrated that strength training is safe for all ages, has considerable health benefits, and women with muscle look amazing.
Oh wow, that is very nice to see too. I would really like us to get to know each other.

Dr. Kenneth Cooper is responsible for coining the term "aerobics". The Cooper Aerobics Center is located in Dallas, Texas. In 2012, I attempted to introduce CrossFit to the Center and was told it was "too fringe."
You were ahead of the times is all.
