Shin Splints and APR15®
Shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome) means your shins hurt!
Generally a symptom of overextending and overusing tibialis anterior muscles when running, jumping, or sprinting.
Comparably overdeveloped calf muscles can put extra stress on anterior tibialis. Overstretched muscles - become weak, and inflammed. Inflammation means swelling, redness, and PAIN.
There are ways to deal with this, stretching your hamstrings, and calves thoroughly is vital. Also exagerating the load on the shins in controlled ways will help train the muscluature - spending some time walking on your heels, or jogging down hill will help.
