Key result
High-intensity interval aerobic exercise resulted in a 30.33% improvement in serum uric acid compared to 20.32% for moderate continuous aerobic exercise (MD 6.31, p=0.002), despite contradictory conclusions in the abstract.

Does high-intensity aerobic exercise improve serum uric acid and renal function compared to moderate-intensity aerobic exercise in non-smokers with hypertension?
Moderate continuous aerobic exercise is more effective than high-intensity interval exercise at reducing serum uric acid and creatinine in hypertensive non-smokers.

May support aerobic exercise for BP control; leaves open optimal intensity in larger RCTs.
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.

Yiwen Chen (2022) conducted an RCT in Essential hypertension and hyperuricemia (n=60). High-intensity interval aerobic exercise vs. Moderate continuous aerobic exercise was evaluated on Percent improvement of serum uric acid (MD 6.31, p=0.002). High-intensity interval aerobic exercise resulted in a 30.33% improvement in serum uric acid compared to 20.32% for moderate continuous aerobic exercise (MD 6.31, p=0.002), despite contradictory conclusions in the abstract.
