The study is an integrative review focused on determining which type of physical exercise is more beneficial for patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, considering aspects such as quality of life, improvements in health condition, and physical fitness. Physiological aspects were also taken into account, as exercises contribute to homeostasis. The objective is to compare resistance exercise (strength training) with aerobic exercise and combined exercise (a combination of resistance and aerobic exercise). Five articles were selected for the integrative review based on pre-established inclusion criteria. The articles were analyzed in-depth, considering and correlating them with human physiology. The analyzed studies showed some discrepancies regarding which type of exercise is more beneficial for people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Resistance exercise was found to be more beneficial compared to other studies, as there was a significant reduction in patients' fasting glucose levels, a decrease in Body Mass Index (BMI), and consequently an improvement in quality of life. Aerobic exercise has its strengths in regulating blood pressure and other vital signs. There was also improvement in upper limb strength and important aerobic capacity; aerobic exercise stands out in peripheral circulation, improving glucose uptake and insulin distribution. Despite the discrepancies among the analyzed studies regarding the most beneficial exercise for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus patients, they follow the same flow and comparative reasoning line where all three types of exercises are beneficial, but each excels in one aspect or more than the others. However, resistance exercise proved superior in some aspects such as physical fitness and balance improvement. Nonetheless, more studies with more advanced research methodology and greater control over patients' activity performance over a longer period are needed.
