There are many serious complications which are associated with increased serum uric acid such as gouty arthritis, metabolic syndrome, renal calculi and cardiovascular problems. Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of aerobic exercise on uric acid in hyperuricemic elderly. Subjects and Methods: thirty old patients,assigned into two equals groups. group A which consist of fifteen males and group B which consist of fifteen female patient had elevated serum uric acid levels were selected randomly from Outpatient clinic of Department of physiotherapy and rehabilitation at Al-Ahrar Teaching Hospital,Zagazig-Egypt, their ages ranged from 65 to 75 years old and their body mass index (BMI) < 30kg/m2. The participants were assigned into two groups of equal in numbers. Group (A) (15 males patients) and group (B) (15 females patients) treated by moderate intensity aerobic exercise in form of walking on treadmill for 45 mintes3 sessions per week for 8 weeks. All patients in both groups were assessed through serum uric acid level test, visual analogue scale (VAS) to measure pain intensity and borg rating of perceived exertion was used to assess functional activity before and after treatment. Results: It was revealed that there was a statistically significant improvement in serum uric acid level, pain and physical activity in both groups.Conclusion: The aerobic exercise was effective in reducing serum uric acid level, pain intensity and physical activity on hyperuricemic elderly patients UR - http://172.23.153.220/th.pdf ER -
