What are the Short-term effects of exercise on the joints?

-It depends on the type of exercise. Range of Motion exercise is basically stretching and low resistance movement of joints, causing the joints to move through their maximum comfortable range. Range of Motion exercises tend to promote healthy joints and causes the synovial fluid to move through the joints. Synovial fluid not only lubricates the joint it also promotes healing of minor injuries. Range of motion exercises become necessary for us as we age and promotes healthy joints at any age. <br /> Resistance or impact exercises such as weight training, running or isometrics can cause different degrees of joint damage, depending on the individual. Arthritis pain is often the result of wearing away the cartilage of the joint during resistance or impact exercise. <br />-

What muscle is irritated when you have shin splints?

"Shin splints" is more of a symptom that could be caused by several conditions than a specific condition itself. Pain or discomfort in the front lower leg when running or jumping are a good indication of this type of condition. Putting pressure on the muscles next to the tibia (shin bone) will produce discomfort or pain. Take two fingers and apply firm pressure as you slide your fingers along the tibia where the bone and muscle meet on the medial (inside) and lateral (outsided) sides of the tibia (shin bone). If you feel pain in any of these areas it is likely that either the muscle is pulling away from the bone in microscopic tears or that you have small stress fractures along the tibia.

If the pain is on the lateral anterior muscle (front outside) it is likely that the tibialis anterior is the muscle affected. If the pain is on the medial side (inside) of the tibia, then it is likely the soleus muscle that is affected.

Although wearing neoprene sleeves on the lower legs and certain taping methods can relieve some of the discomfort in the lower leg commonly referred to as "shin splints," the only real treatment for shin splints is rest and ice. Ibuprofen or other non-steroidal anti-inflammatories can help reduce inflammation and speed up recovery. A good supplemental intake of calcium, Vitamin C, glucosamine, chondroiton, and MSM will ensure that your body has the materials it needs to repair itself.

Shin splints are usually used to describe the pain and discomfort associated with the tibialis anterior muscle being torn off of the tibia because of a strength imbalance between this muscle and the soleus and gastrocnemius. To recover, the athlete should rest and apply ice to the affected area of the shin in 20-30 minute segments as often as possible. The athlete may return to exercise after the area is no longer sensitive to pressure along the tibia, the athlete can perform lower leg stretches without discomfort, and a light jog is shown to produce no pain or discomfort. The recovery period will usually take 2-3 weeks, but this can vary greatly among athletes.

To prevent shin splints from reoccurring, or to prevent them from ever occurring in the first place, one should engage in an exercise program that targets strengthening the tibialis anterior directly. This short video shows a simple exercise that is very effective in preventing shin splints.
