The Research Center for Human Health and Performance was established in 2000 and supports the following research fields: biochemistry of exercise, nutrition, coaching, biomechanics and exercise physiology. The aim of the Research Center for Human Health and Performance (RCHHP) is to further the understanding of the biological determinants of human exercise for health and for elite performance In order to achieve this aim, the RCHHP (a) promotes research activity and research collaboration with research institutions both at home and abroad, (b) contributes to the scientific support of elite performers, and (c) actively participates in the education and training of quality undergraduate and post-graduate students providing them with access to new scientific and technological developments in the field of the biology of human movement. Objective: to develop an internationally recognised and respected profile in research and scholarly activity.
