Are your football players noticeably more muscular than they had been in prior generations?
That's very pronounced with American athletes (at least in football and basketball). I'm wondering if we're seeing a tradeoff between peak performance and durability.

I think they are more prone to injuries these days. I have the feeling of more serious knee injuries that led to long recovery periods.
On top of that more minor muscle injuries that keep players out for several weeks during the competition.
