Introduction: This study aims to explore the impact of aerobic exercise and green tea extract consumption on cardiac prognostic markers in men diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.Method: The study involved 32 male participants with type 2 diabetes, aged 50 ± 10.9 years, divided into four groups: 1) green tea (GT), 2) green tea combined with aerobic training (GT+AT), 3) placebo (PL), and 4) placebo combined with aerobic training (PL+AT). Over an 8-week period, the AT protocol was performed for 60 minutes at an intensity of 55-65% of maximum heart rate (MHR) on a treadmill. Green tea extract was consumed at a dosage of 800 mg daily. Serum levels of cardiac markers, including GDF-15 and NT-proBNP, were assessed through blood sampling before and after the intervention. Data were analyzed using ANOVA with repeated measures and Bonferroni's post hoc test.Results: The results indicated a significant decrease in serum levels of GDF-15 and NT-proBNP in the post-test compared to the pre-test in the GT, GT+AT, and PL+AT groups (P
