Shin Splints is an injury affecting the shin area due to overexertion or overwork. It is a common occurrence in runners, athletes, football, basketball or soccer players, acrobats, and dancers. Its symptoms include vague and dispersed pain along the shin area and diffuse tenderness, especially after exertion. The pain is worse at the beginning of the exercise, but it subsides during the training or as the activity ceases.
