Match Vision Studio software is designed to facilitate the systematic
observation of the
sport practices, within the frame of the observational methodology. It
was developed to
facilitate the user observing, codifying, registering and analyzing any
situation that occurs
in a natural or habitual context, when the conducts are spontaneous.
The user can define up 12 mutually exclusive code sets and up to 120 different
behaviors
to facilitate data collection. This allows the user to work with any observational
data type:
sequences of events, sequences of events with time, sequences of states,
interval sequences
or multievent sequences. Furthermore, Match Vision Studio plays digital
video files, which
makes video and taxonomic tool to be displayed on the screen at the same
time. Just
clicking the mouse, the user can handle the video file (to pause and play
it again) and record
the different responses. Time and duration are automatically registered,
the user has the
option to record them in frames or seconds. Raw data are displayed in
a separate window
and entry errors made can be edited while coding.
The data analysis feature allows the user to calculate percentage of intervals,
frequency
distributions and conditional probabilities.
Taxonomic tool, raw data and analysis results are saved in spreadsheets,
which can be
opened at any time for editing. Raw data can also be re-opened to carry
on coding, which is
really helpful for the user.
