A common problem among walkers/runners is shin splints and can be caused when the anterior (front) leg muscles are stressed. Stress can be caused by the constant impact of hard surfaces or the condition of your shoes. Wearing athletic shoes that are worn out or that do not have enough shock absorption can also cause this condition. The best way to prevent shin splints is to stretch and strengthen the anterior leg muscles and wear footwear with good shock absorption.
