Summary: This dissertation highlights promising benefits of integrating Dance/Movement Therapy and Emotional Freedom Techniques for sports performance enhancement but acknowledges that the findings are preliminary and further research to validate these methods, refine their application, and strengthen their evidence base is needed. The dissertation supports its claims by presenting qualitative and quantitative data from case studies and surveys involving athletes who integrated Dance/Movement Therapy (DMT) and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) into their training. It highlights improvements in psychological resilience, emotional regulation, and physical performance metrics. Additionally, it references existing literature on the benefits of DMT and EFT to provide a theoretical foundation for its findings.
