The University of Gothenburg is ranked number one in Sweden and among 51-100 in the world in the field of sports science according to the prestigious Shanghai ranking. The placement is a clear improvement compared to previous years. The start of the Center for Health and Performance (CHP) at University of Gothenburg in 2011 is probably an important explanation for the improvement. CHP is located at the Sports Academy (Idrottshögskolan) near Nya Ullevi, and belongs organizationally to the Department of Food and Nutrition and Sport Science. The center is a joint formation between Sahlgrenska Academy and the Faculty of Education.
