Incidência da canelite em praticantes de corrida de rua:principais fatores de risco e análise comparativa dos impactos no surgimento da lesão. Uma revisão bibliográfica

Abstract

Objective: to analyze the main risk factors associated with the incidence of Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS), known as shin splints, in road runners. Methodology: this is an integrative literature review with a qualitative and descriptive approach, conducted in the PEDro, PubMed, SciELO, and Google Scholar databases. Studies published between 2013 and 2025 were included, with emphasis on the last five years, focusing on risk factors related to the injury in road runners. Study selection was performed through title, abstract, and full-text screening, totaling 20 articles included in the analysis. Results: findings showed that MTSS has a multifactorial origin, with the main associated factors being training overload, biomechanical alterations, muscle strength deficits, previous injury history, reduced ankle mobility, and extrinsic factors

such as running surface and inappropriate footwear. A predominance of training- related and biomechanical factors was observed. Conclusion: it is concluded that shin

splints in road runners are associated with the interaction between intrinsic and extrinsic factors, highlighting the importance of understanding these elements for injury prevention and development of load management strategies and proper guidance for runners.
