From: Vigour of self-paced reaching movement: cost of time and individual traits

Illustration of the time-effort compromise model. The biomechanical cost of movement is depicted in blue and it depends on the motion amplitude. In classical motor control models, it is a decreasing function of time. The cost of time is depicted in red. Note that it is independent of motion amplitude and it is growing with time. The total cost, sum of these two latter costs, yields optimal movement times (emphasized by gray stars). These predicted durations will match experimental ones for a suitable choice of the time cost. Uncovering the correct time penalization is the goal of the CoT identification procedure,
