2. Why Shin Splints Affects Runners
When people run, each footstep creates a force that is several times a persons’ bodyweight, and it’s absorbed from the ground up.3A;, Nilsson J;Thorstensson. ‘Ground Reaction Forces at Different Speeds of Human Walking and Running.’ Acta Physiologica Scandinavica, U.S. National Library of Medicine, pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/2782094/. After the sneakers have taken the initial impact, the muscles of the lower leg play a key role in harmlessly consuming this excess energy.
When these muscles are overworked or underconditioned, this jarring transfers to the tibia. The resultant excessive stress inflames the surface of the bone and the muscles attached to it.
