• #1 Shin Splint: A Review

  https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9937638/

  Medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS), usually referred to as „shin splints,” is a common overuse injury of the lower extremities affecting a large percentage of athletes. A variety of factors can lead to shin splints, including overtraining, poor footwear, muscular imbalances at the ankle, overtight or weak triceps surae muscles, imbalances at the thoracolumbar complex, and a body mass index (BMI) above 30. […] Shin splints are brought on by persistent strain on the connective tissues that attach your muscles to the bone and the shinbone. Shin splints typically occur as a result of overuse injuries to the leg’s muscle and bone tissue (periosteum). Usually, shin splints appear after abrupt changes in physical activity. These may entail frequency modifications, such as increasing the number of days you work out each week. Shin splints can also develop as a result of length and intensity increases, such as jogging uphill or for longer distances. Shin splints can also result from having flat feet or unusually inflexible arches, as well as from exercising in unsuitable or worn-out footwear.

• #2 Shin splints – Symptoms & causes – Mayo Clinic

  https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/shin-splints/symptoms-causes/syc-20354105

  Shin splints are caused by continuing stress on the shinbone and the tissues that attach muscles to the bone, called connective tissues. […] Known in medicine as medial tibial stress syndrome, shin splints often occur in athletes when they start training harder. The increased activity puts stress on the muscles, tendons and bone tissue.

  Shin splints are a common exercise-related problem. The term „shin splints” refers to pain along the inner edge of the shinbone (tibia). […] Shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome) is an inflammation of the muscles, tendons, and bone tissue around your tibia. Pain typically occurs along the inner border of the tibia, where muscles attach to the bone. […] In general, shin splints develop when the muscle and bone tissue (periosteum) in the leg become overworked by repetitive activity. […] Shin splints often occur after sudden changes in physical activity. These can be: Changes in frequency, such as increasing the number of days you exercise each week; Changes in duration, such as running longer distances; Changes in intensity, such as running on hills after running on only flat surfaces.

• #4 Shin Splints: Symptoms, Causes & Treatments

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/17467-shin-splints

  Shin splints develop from repeated stress to your shin bone by the pulling and tugging of the muscles and connective tissues in your lower leg. Frequent, repetitive pressure from running and jumping can cause your shin bone to become inflamed (swollen or irritated) and weakened. When the bone doesnt have time to heal, the damage can get worse and cause severe pain. Such repeated stress can happen for many reasons, including starting a new exercise routine or increasing your level of physical activity too quickly. […] Although anyone can get shin splints, certain people have a higher chance of developing the condition. Groups with a higher risk of shin splints include: Runners, especially those who run on uneven surfaces or suddenly increase their running program. Athletes who play high-impact sports that put stress on their legs. Dancers. People who have flat feet, high arches or very rigid arches. In these situations, your muscles and bones may not absorb or distribute force from impact and loading activities, as well. Members of the military and people who march or walk a lot. People who wear unsupportive shoes when exercising. People who walk extreme distances. Anyone with underlying vitamin D deficiency, an eating disorder or loss of normal menses (periods). People with osteopenia or osteoporosis who may already have weaker bones.

  Just as you’re ramping up your mileage on a run, you notice a dull ache or a sudden sharp pain along your shin bones. What just happened? “Shin splints, also called medial tibial stress syndrome, is widely known to be caused by overuse, which is usually seen in athletes who run excessively,” says Marcus Owens, D.P.T. at Tallahassee Orthopedic & Sports Physical Therapy. […] The actual cause of shin splints isn’t fully known, says Owens, but there are two well-regarded theories by those in the sports medicine world. The first suggests that the repeated bending of the tibia — the larger of the two shin bones — through an activity like running creates trauma on the leg. The other theorizes that when the muscles in your lower leg contract too much, it pulls on the tibial bone and causes stress — like tugging on a curtain can strain the curtain rod above it. Either way, there’s simply too much load, says Carol Mack, D.P.T., C.S.C.S., strength coach and doctor of physical therapy at CLE Sports PT & Performance. That’s why some tend to feel better once they stop running — the load immediately decreases, eliminating the source of stress.

  Shin splints is the common term for medial tibial stress syndrome. It refers to pain felt anywhere along the shinbone from knee to ankle. People who play sports that involve a lot of running are particularly prone to this injury. One of the most common reasons for this pain is overuse, such as trying to exercise beyond your current level of fitness. The exact cause of the pain is unknown. It may be caused by the tendons and muscles that run the length of the shin pulling on the bone and creating inflammation. More recent research suggests it is more likely a stress reaction from the bone. […] Shin splints can be caused by a number of factors working in combination. These factors include: Overuse exercising too hard or trying to exercise beyond your current level of fitness can strain muscles, tendons, bones and joints. Overuse is one of the most common causes of shin splints. Flat feet the shin muscles are involved in maintaining the instep or arch of the foot. Flat feet can pull at the shin tendons and cause slight tearing. Incorrect technique poor running form, such as rolling the feet inwards (pronation), can strain the muscles and tendons. High impact activities the impact of running on hard or uneven surfaces can injure the shin muscles and tendons. Running shoes wearing the wrong type of shoe while running can contribute to shin splints.

[…] Shin splints are commonly associated with sports that require a lot of running or weight bearing activity. However, it is not necessarily the added weight or force applied to the muscles and tendons of the lower leg, but rather the impact force associated with running and weight bearing activities. […] In other words, it’s not the running itself, but the sudden shock force of repeated landings and change of direction that causes the problem. When the muscles and tendons become fatigued and overloaded, they lose their ability to adequately absorb the damaging shock force.

  Shin splints is the common term for medial tibial stress syndrome. It refers to pain felt anywhere along the shinbone from knee to ankle. People who play sports that involve a lot of running are particularly prone to this injury. One of the most common reasons for this pain is overuse, such as trying to exercise beyond your current level of fitness. The exact cause of the pain is unknown. It may be caused by the tendons and muscles that run the length of the shin pulling on the bone and creating inflammation. More recent research suggests it is more likely a stress reaction from the bone. […] Shin splints can be caused by a number of factors working in combination. These factors include: Overuse exercising too hard or trying to exercise beyond your current level of fitness can strain muscles, tendons, bones and joints. Overuse is one of the most common causes of shin splints. Flat feet the shin muscles are involved in maintaining the instep or arch of the foot. Flat feet can pull at the shin tendons and cause slight tearing. Incorrect technique poor running form, such as rolling the feet inwards (pronation), can strain the muscles and tendons. High impact activities the impact of running on hard or uneven surfaces can injure the shin muscles and tendons. Running shoes wearing the wrong type of shoe while running can contribute to shin splints.

  The primary factor for developing shin splints is overtraining, but that encompasses more than what you might think. “When we talk about training, it’s important to note that this doesn’t just mean the amount that a person is running,” says Mack. “It’s also the intensity of their workouts, as well as the surfaces the person is running on. For example, easy runs versus sprints have very different intensities, and hills are very different from flat surfaces.” […] Some other factors that can go into overtraining and cause shin splints, as well as how to fix them, include: Running form: Overstriding can place more forces or stress through the shins, says Mack. […] Weaker lower leg muscles: Repetitive stress on untrained muscles can cause shin splints, says Mack. […] A well-known prevention strategy is to ramp up activity in progressions and to follow a training plan, adds Owens. “This could mean running or practicing in intervals, with an increase in activity duration or intensity every week.”

  The lower leg muscles suffer a tremendous amount of stress when a runner lands only on the balls of the feet (toe running), without normal heel contact. […] Another possible cause is ligament damage. Both the “spring,” or plantar calcaneonavicular ligament and the posterior talofibular ligament may be weakened or injured during running, again leading to painful shin splints. […] Shin splints often plague beginning runners who do not build their mileage gradually enough, as well as seasoned runners who abruptly change their workout regimen by suddenly adding too much mileage or switching from running on flat surfaces to hills, to cite just two examples. […] The problem with this approach is that extended resting of the muscles and the periosteum, or the bone covering, will further weaken the already weak structures.

  The simple answer to this question is that „shin splints” is a laymans wastebasket term to describe pain felt between the knee and the ankle after athletic activity. Although there are different reasons why pain is felt in this area, shin splints are considered a cumulative stress disorder as opposed to an acute injury. They occur when the constant pounding and stresses placed on the bones, muscles and joints overwhelm the bodys natural ability to repair the damage and restore itself. […] The root causes of the pain of shin splints can be divided into two areas: muscle and bone. […] The second major source of shin splint pain stems from the bones and ranges from stress reactions to full-blown fractures. The constant pounding the skeleton endures during running, for example, can cause many microscopic cracks to appear on the bones of the leg. Normally, with rest, the body easily repairs these cracks. Over time, however, these tiny cracks can coalesce into a complete stress fracture, or even a complete fracture.
