How to Use the Dots to Analyze the Behavior and the Collective Organization

Position data can be obtained from different approaches and techniques. Based on that, the aim of this chapter is to briefly present the main methods that have been used to track players during the games and training sessions and to discuss which kind of information can be used to analyze the individual and collective behavior. The introduction to the uPATO software will be also executed. This software allows to import position data from multi-camera tracking systems or Global Positioning System (GPS) and to compute tactical and collective measures representing group behavior.
