Shin Splint Syndrome: A Common Condition Among Runners<br /> <br /> Shin Splint Syndrome is a condition commonly found in runners. The causes can be divided into two major groups: injuries from accidents or external impacts and issues caused by overuse or excessively rigorous training.
The iliotibial band (IT band) is a tendon located on the outside of the upper thigh that connects the muscles on the side and the buttocks muscles, extending down past the knee to attach at the side of the shin bone. Running excessively or over long distances can lead to inflammation, causing pain in the hip area, the outer thigh, and also around the knee.
The Achilles tendon is the largest tendon in the body, connecting the calf muscles to the heel. It plays a role in walking, running, and jumping. If the tendon becomes too tight or experiences a lot of stress, it can lead to inflammation of the Achilles tendon (Achilles Tendinitis).
For runners, when discussing injuries from running, many undoubtedly have felt some pain around knee joints while running. The fact is about 20% of runners have experienced patellofemoral pain syndrome.
The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint, keeping the head of your upper arm bone firmly within the shallow socket of the shoulder. A rotator cuff can be injured during activities that place a tremendous amount of force or strain on the shoulder, such as playing baseball or tennis.

The injury most commonly occurs during sports that involve sudden stops, jumping or changes in direction like soccer, basketball, and skiing.
