Can you tell me how to prevent a shin splint?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ease into it: Shin splints(medically known as tibial stress syndrome) is an overuse injury that occurs when a person (often an athlete)increases their level of physical activity or training quickly over a short period of time. You can decrease your chances of getting shin splints by gradually increasing your activity level over several weeks.
