It could be argued that Neilson's negative tactics requires a low level of fitness or that we aren't getting into the scoring positions that result in more injuries. The new 4G may have had a difference, while we have less players who twist and turn like Ben Reeves which puts maximum strain on the body (is it a coincidence that Aiden Nesbitt has been injured?).
Well, Neilson improved their fitness to help avoid injuries, and we have had less injuries. The OP’s point stands.
Players run about just as much as before, it’s just that they are now chasing opponents more.
