Football as foraging? Movements by individual players and whole teams exhibit Lévy walk dynamics

Abstract excerpt

Many organisms, ranging from modern humans to extinct species, exhibit movement patterns that can be described by Lévy walk dynamics. It has been demonstrated that such behavior enables optimal foraging when resource distribution is sparse. Here, we analyze a dataset of football player trajectories, recorded during the matches of the Japanese football league to elucidate the presence of statistical signatures of L...
