Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases and all-cause mortality. The present study investigated the effect of an eight-week aerobics programme on fasting blood sugar (FBS), cardiovascular parameters, peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO 2 ), and body mass index (BMI) among subjects with type-2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
