Reverse Calf Pull.
In this situation we have a lot of emphasis on push off and nothing to help develop strength, pulling the toe back up, loading the ankle which is very important during push off. After push off when we run or move, we load the ankle and get ready for forced application.
In this case we are going to use a simple towel and we are going to pull the toe down and our athlete is going to pull the toe back up. This should isolate the front side of the shin and increases strength in a reverse situation that what we would normally think of strengthening the lower leg.
In many cases, this simple drill right here will help in eliminating shin splints. It will also aid in recovery of the ankle during the sprinting phase after push off loading and getting ready for the next force to be applied.
