The athletes trained for about 16 hours and played 2 championship games weekly. \nThe results showed if the exercise intensity was lower in the second half time of the game suggesting that there \nmight have been a decrease in performance capacity of the players. \nThe exercise intensity of was also lower during the friendly game than during the official games.
