35% of athletes get shin splints because of this muscle. 50% of basketball players get jumper’s knee. And if it’s weak, your ACL injury risk jumps 4.6 times.
It’s called the tibialis, and if you’re not training it, you’re leaving performance (and durability) on the table. Here’s how to fix that.
🔹 Tib Raises – Add weight or resistance as you get stronger
🔹 Reverse Sled Pulls – Mimics real game movements
🔹 Heel Walks – 20-30 seconds per set
🔹 Calf Stretching – Better ankle mobility = better tibialis function
🔹 Single-Leg Balance – Builds ankle control and stability
Your tibialis helps you sprint faster, jump higher, and absorb impact when you cut or land. Studies show just six weeks of training it can reduce shin splint pain by 78%. Stay strong. Stay durable. Stay explosive.
