St. Pats going back part time!

[John83]

About -3 years ago some university in Ireland ran some fitness tests using rugby, GAA and soccer players (pretty high level lads from each code) , GAA came last, the rubgy and then soccer won out, the result was that it is a bit of a myth that GAA are just as fit as pros etc.

I will see if I can find the article on the net and post it p.

It depends on what you measure. A lot.

Soccer players tend to be leaner and faster than gaelic football players, who tend to carry a little more muscle and fat - the nature of the game pretty much requires it. I remember the article you mention - hurlers were the least fit by a distance, for the simple reason that technical skill is far more important than fitness in that sport.
