U.S. Air Force Airmen run laps around the flightline at Dobbins Air Reserve Base, Georgia. Shin splints – a common injury among athletes, particularly runners – refers to pain in the leg below the knee, usually on the inside part of your shin. This pain can be caused by micro-tears at the bone tissue, possibly caused by overuse or repetitive stress. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech Sgt. Stephen D. Schester)
