Paudie Kissane: AFL stars fitter than GAA players

Former Cork All-Ireland winner and newly-appointed Limerick coach Paudie Kissane has produced results to prove that professional Australian footballers are leaner, fitter, and stronger than GAA players.

As part of his studies for a Masters in Strength and Conditioning, Kissane compared the fitness of elite inter-county players and a selection of AFL stars.

He is hopeful his results will soon be published as a journal paper and he believes what he’s learned can help in his new role alongside manager Billy Lee in Limerick, particularly from a nutritional viewpoint.
