Researchers have developed a novel approach to predict the feasibility of human sports movements, specifically focusing on the time a player needs to reach a location on the field. This method frames the problem as a conditional quantile regression task, estimating the lower quantile of locomotion times to learn a player's minimum arrival time. The model was trained on tracking data from the FIFA World Cup 2022 and demonstrated superior performance against existing physics-based models, with further evaluations showing its potential for transferability across different sports like basketball and American football.
