First seen Dec 29, 2025 · Last updated May 24, 2026 · Updated 23 times
Summary
This study looked at whether a 10-week heavy leg strengthening program could help prevent medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS), commonly known as shin splints, in college track and field runners. Twenty-six athletes were split into two groups: one did the strengthening program plus their regular training, while the other only did regular training. Researchers tracked symptoms and muscle properties over the season to see if the program made a difference.
