This study aimed to study the effect of resistive exercise program using delerom techique in comparision to mild to moderate intensity aerobic exercise program using cycle ergometer on serum uric acid in hypertensive patients. Study design: forty hypertensive patients with mild to moderate high blood pressure. (SBP between 140 to179 mmHg, DBP between 90 to 109 mmHg), they were given antihypertensive medications and elevated SUA level between {u2265}7 mg/dl for men and {u2265} 6.0mg / dl for women with BMI between 30.0{u2013}34.9 kg / m2, their ages ranged between 40 - 50 years old. They were selected from out patients clinic of Damietta hospital, they were assigned into two equal in number groups: Group A: twenty hypertensive patients with elevated SUA divided into ten men and ten women were given treatment in form of mild to moderate intensity aerobic exercise ranges from 40% to 70% using cycle ergometer three times a week for 24 sessions (8weeks) and Group B: twenty hypertensive patients with elevated SUA divided into ten men and ten women were given a treatment in form of resistive exercise using delerom technique three times a week for 24 sessions (8weeks). Serum uric acid and blood pressure were assessed for both groups before and after treatment
