Although there is substantial work in the field of expertise (as previously reported), it would be of interest in future research: (i) to clarify the importance of mechanisms underlying perceptual-cognitive expertise in water polo players; (ii) to highlight the influence imposed by several constraints on the expert’s performance in a near or realistic context; and (iii) to integrate simultaneously in the same research different measures of the perceptual-cognitive skills, constraints imposed by the task, the environment and the individual characteristics of the performer.
i) Clarify the importance of mechanisms underlying perceptual-cognitive expertise in water polo players.
ii) Highlight the influence imposed by several constraints on the expert’s performance in a near or realistic context.
iii) Integrate simultaneously in the same research different measures of the perceptual-cognitive skills, constraints imposed by the task, the environment and the individual characteristics of the performer.
