Why the study?
While exercise is a cornerstone of therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus, the optimal modalities by which different exercise prescriptions improve metabolic outcomes remain unclear.
Do structured exercise interventions (aerobic, resistance, HIIT, combined) improve metabolic outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes?
Population
Individuals with type 2 diabetes across 26 studies (n = 20–98)
Comparison
Aerobic, resistance, high-intensity interval (HIIT), and combined training
Design
Systematic review of 26 articles

Optimal exercise modality for T2DM metabolic gains remains unclear; leaves open need for direct comparative trials before changing prescriptions.
Do structured exercise interventions (aerobic, resistance, HIIT, combined) improve metabolic outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes?
Different exercise modalities, particularly aerobic, combined, and HIIT, improve metabolic health in type 2 diabetes through enhanced glucose transport and insulin sensitivity.
