Detailed explanation-1: -Shin splints are an overuse injury caused by repetitive stress to the muscles, tendons and/or tissues associated with the shin bone (tibia) over a period of time, without enough rest to give the leg enough time to heal. Muscles and tendons adapt to stress-that’s how they become stronger.

Detailed explanation-2: -Shin splints is the common name for the medical condition called medial tibial stress syndrome, in which pain occurs along the tibia. This pain is the result of small tears and inflammation in the muscles, tendons and bone tissue around your shin.

Detailed explanation-3: -Shin splints refer to the pain and tenderness along or just behind the large bone in the lower leg. They develop after hard exercise, sports, or repetitive activity. Shin splints cause pain on the front or outside of the shins or on the inside of the lower leg above the ankle.

Detailed explanation-4: -Shin splints are a common overuse injury. This injury happens when the muscles and bones in the lower leg pull and become irritated. Athletes (especially runners), members of the military and people with osteoporosis are at a higher chance of developing shin splints.

Detailed explanation-5: -Shin splints are an overuse problem. You get shin splints from overloading your leg muscles, tendons or shin bone. Most often, the activity that causes the injury is high impact and repetitive exercise of your lower legs. This is why runners, dancers, and gymnasts often get shin splints.
