High performance sport practice is currently recognized as an important factor of sport development. In addition to enjoying a strong social impact, it fosters an interest and enthusiasm which ultimately contribute to the generalization of sport practice. The Portuguese Government, both in its Programme for Government, and in the Planning Options, has defined the construction and implementation of measures to support and encourage High Performance sport practice as a strategic line, by creating conditions for the construction of a network of sports infrastructures named High Performance Sports Centres (HPSC)/HIGHSPORTUGAL.
