Answers:
I don't think there is a cure, but you can prevent them by doing stretches before a game or before you work out. Here's a good one. Put your feet together. Bend over and put your hands on your knees then lift your toes up in the air, one foot at a time. Leave your heels on the floor, just lift the toes and top part of your foot. This warms up the muscles in the front of your legs and you won't get shin splints. Do it again after you exercise.
