Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is considered a serious public health problem and its prevalence gradually increases due to the industrialization process. The treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) includes medications and non-medications, such as changes in diet, regular physical exercise and suspension of smoking habits. Objective: The present study evaluated the aerobic physical training (APT) effects on anthropometric, glycemic, insulinemic, and hemodynamic parameters of DM2 individuals. Material and Method: Two groups were evaluated: CG (n=39): sedentary; EG (n=36): subjected to APT, 3 times/week, 50min/session, accumulating 150min/week. Seven skinfolds, abdominal circumference, waist and hip were measured, as well as blood samples were collected for fasting glucose and insulin analysis OGTT, and glycated hemoglobin determination. For BP measurement was used sphygmomanometer plus stethoscope, and a frequencimeter to FC determination. Results: The sum of skinfolds present significant difference between pre and post- APT and, when compared to GC, GE showed lower values. There was no change in the biochemical variables; on the other hand, the hemodynamic ones showed significant decreases in all parameters analyzed. Conclusion: The APT stimulated decreases in hemodynamic variables, as well as a slightly reduced in the body fat of DM2 individuals.
