Effect of high-intensity aerobic exercise on serum uric acid in hypertension: compare with moderate-intensity aerobic exercise

Abstract

Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity and morbidity since high blood pressure can cause damage to microvascular and macrovascular organs. The Sixty non-smoker participants were divided into two main groups. Thirty participants group with high-intensity aerobic exercise and a second thirty group with moderate-intensity aerobic exercise. The electrical treadmill exercise is used three times per week for eight for each 25-30 minutes. Peripheral arterial blood pressure measurements and blood investigation in the form of serum uric acid and renal function tests were tested for each participant. The resulting data showed a significantly decreased effect on both serum uric acid and renal function tests in high-intensity intervals and continuous moderate exercise with more improvement with continuous moderate exercise 16% in serum uric acid and 27.5 % in creatinine. In conclusion, moderate continuous exercise reduces serum uric acid and creatinine better than high-intensity interval exercise. Both have the same effect on blood pressure and urea, but moderate continuous exercise has a crystal-clear effect that cannot be denied.
