This paper aims to offer a free software program, LINCE PLUS, suitable for systematic observational studies in sports and health,
conducted in natural contexts such as training, education or psychology. Using one or several videos simultaneously, different
parameters such as behaviors, decision-making or strategies can be analyzed. The software includes several functionalities for
studies that researchers need to utilize throughout the observational study process. Collaborative work can be accomplished by
using simultaneous videos and multiple observers. The results of all research conducted by LINCE PLUS are offered inside the
application in real time, enabling common calculations or including specific analysis with R language without the need for any
other external tool. Moreover, LINCE PLUS shows the results of each study with interactive charts or, if needed, it exports the
data to specific data analysis software programs (e.g., SAS, Excel, Theme, GSEQ 5, Hoisan). We include examples of sports and
health studies that have been conducted with LINCE PLUS to show the suitability of this software program.
