The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effect of tactile surface aqua aerobic exercise on type 2 diabetes mellitus in young adults. Methodology and theoretical orientation: the study was commencing after the approval of institutional ethical clearance. Group A (15 subjects) for tactile surface aqua aerobic exercise and group B (15 subjects) for conventional on ground exercise were randomly allocated by probability sampling design. Finding: Statistical analysis was tested with t test at 95% level of significance (p<0.05). Both the group showed significant difference and Significant difference was observed between Pre and post of group B since T value giving its p-value 0.000 is less than 0.05, which indicated that group A is more significant than group B. Conclusion and significance: Group A showed better control of type 2 diabetes mellitus in subjects doing tactile surface aqua aerobic exercise then just conventional types of exercises to control diabetes mellitus.
