Abstract
Examination of 36 top athletes after a period of prolonged training revealed a significantly reduced serum uric acid concentration measured both before cycle ergometry exercise and in the 3rd and 10th minutes of recovery after exercise. Regression and correlation analysis showed a significant indirect relationship between maximum oxygen consumption and serum uric acid concentration obtained before exercise and during the 3rd and 10th minutes of recovery after exercise. Thus, endurance training had a positive influence on serum uric acid concentration. These findings may be used for testing functional efficiency and training ability of athletes, particularly in long‐term investigations. It is assumed that the ability to reduce serum uric acid concentration by a suitable physical activity could be used also in appropriate patients with hyperuricemia.
