Good evening,
Today I decided to look at a common injury in runners – Shin Splints. I recall when I was working at back in the 1990’s, I suffered from this injury a lot.
QUERY to ChatGPT:
What are the causes of shin splints?
RESPONSE from ChatGPT [NOTE: Modified to meet character limits]:
Shin splints, also known as medial tibial stress syndrome, are a common condition characterized by pain along the shinbone (tibia), which is the large bone in the front of your lower leg. The exact cause of shin splints is not always clear; some common causes:
1st | Overuse or Overtraining: Engaging in repetitive activities such as running long distances or participating in high-impact sports can lead to shin splints.
2nd | Incorrect Footwear: Wearing shoes that do not provide adequate support or that are worn out can contribute to shin splints.
3rd | Biomechanical Factors: Foot mechanics, such as overpronation, supination, abnormalities in arch height or foot structure can contribute to shin splints,
4th | Muscle Imbalances: Weakness or imbalance in the muscles of the lower leg can increase the risk of shin splints.
5th | Training Errors: Rapidly increasing the intensity, duration, or frequency of exercise without allowing adequate time for the body to adapt can lead to shin splints.
6th | Running on Hard Surfaces: Running on hard or uneven surfaces can increase the impact on the lower leg and contribute to shin splints.
7th | Flat Feet or High Arches: Abnormalities in foot structure, such as flat feet or high arches, may contribute to the development of shin splints.
8th | Inadequate Warm-up or Stretching: Failing to warm up properly before exercise or neglecting stretching can increase the risk of shin splints.
Conclusion:
If you suspect you have shin splints or are experiencing persistent pain, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional or a sports medicine specialist for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan.

Good afternoon,
Back in the day, I frequently sprained my ankle: during rugby in high school, playing ball hockey during University and playing tennis as an adult. It seems to be a common injury in many sports but I thought I would solicit a comprehensive response from ChatGPT.
QUERY to ChatGPT (version 3.5):
What are the main causes of ankle injuries?
//
RESPONSE from ChatGPT [NOTE: Modified to meet character limits]:
Ankle injuries can occur due to a variety of reasons, and they are common in both everyday activities and sports. Some main causes:
1st | Sprains: Most common and happen when the ligaments stretch or tear due to a sudden twist or turn of the foot.
2nd | Fractures: Occur when one or more of the bones in the ankle break from a fall, a direct blow or a strong twist.
3rd | Overuse or Repetitive Strain: Continuous stress can lead to injuries such as tendonitis or stress fractures.
4th | Sports Injuries: Sports that involve jumping, cutting, and rapid changes in direction, such as basketball, soccer, or volleyball, can increase the risk of ankle injuries.
5th | Trips and Falls: Uneven surfaces, slippery conditions, or simply losing balance can lead to sprains, strains, or fractures.
6th | Improper Footwear: Wearing shoes that do not provide adequate support can contribute to ankle injuries.
7th | Weak Ankles or Muscles: Insufficient strength or flexibility around the ankle can make the joint more vulnerable to injuries.
8th | Previous Injuries: May increase the likelihood of future injuries, as weakened ligaments or altered biomechanics can persist.
9th | Anatomic Factors: Factors such as flat feet or a high arch may affect stability.
10th | Inadequate Warm-Up or Stretching: Failing to warm up properly can make the muscles and ligaments more susceptible to injury.
Conclusion:
Proper footwear, strengthening exercises, and attentive participation in physical activities, can help reduce the risk of ankle injuries.

Hey .coaching
This week I had an exchange around lower back pain.
In a two part series, I will turn to _ChatGPT._ to (1) Learn the causes of lower back pain and (2) Remedies for treating lower back pain.
The following is a summary for Part 1:
What are the causes of lower back pain?
RESPONSE from ChatGPT (NOTE: Modified to fit character limits)
Lower back pain can have various causes, and it often results from a combination of factors. Some common causes of lower back pain include:
Muscle or Ligament Strain: Overuse, improper lifting, or sudden awkward movements can strain the muscles and ligaments in the lower back.
Herniated or Bulging Discs: The discs between the vertebrae act as cushions, and if the soft material inside the disc protrudes or leaks, it can press on a nerve and cause pain.
Degenerative Disc Disease: As people age, the discs in the spine can degenerate, leading to pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility.
Spinal Stenosis: Involves the narrowing of the spinal canal, putting pressure on the spinal cord and nerves.
Osteoarthritis: The breakdown of cartilage in the joints can lead to arthritis in the spine.
Scoliosis: An abnormal curvature of the spine can cause pain.
Osteoporosis: This leads to the weakening of bones.
Spondylolisthesis: Vertebra slips forward over the one below it, causing lower back pain.
Trauma or Injury: Accidents, falls, or other injuries can cause damage to the lower back.
Infections and Tumors: Infections of the spine or tumors in the lower back can cause pain; these are rare.
Lifestyle: Poor posture, lack of exercise, obesity, and smoking can contribute.
Psychological: Stress, anxiety, and depression can contribute.
Lower back pain is a common symptom, and its cause can vary from person to person. If you're experiencing persistent or severe lower back pain, it's advisable to consult with a healthcare professional.

Yo .88 just thought I would drop this here reflecting Week 4 of my push-up challenge. Nothing creative or jaw dropping like the BEFORE and AFTER photos .coaching has been sharing! Hopefully I can inspire 1 or 2 persons out there to start their own challenge!
Yo just grabbed this from my mailbox here in and I immediately thought of a jumble of podcasts including “…as we go more Jetsons, people who act like the Flintstones are going to win…”
Yo .coaching I think this baby can teach me a lot about my form as I move into week 3 of my push-up challenge!!
Good evening,
In what started out as an idea to upload different challenges for the “Powered by Streakers” solution similar to the Barrie Mixed Slo-Pitch League that Craig Weissenfels – .88 – participates in or the 10-pin Ambassador Bowling League that Brian Weissenfels – – shares his passionate at the in Peterborough, Ontario turned into a week of trying to outperform myself in each and every push-up attempt..
All in all, it was a fun 7-days in which I managed to solicit responses from some former colleagues, including Ed Church from Qatar and from Turkey, and some “locker room” banter from current colleagues, Stephen Clarke of and of .
Of course, an unexpected benefit came from down under (Australia) when Jonny Cainer – .coaching – submitted completion of his own challenge by “pushing up” his age! Well done young lad!

The added energy from such a terrific announcement was spurred on by the starting playlist I selected from titled “Workout Experience 128 BPM” to cover 4 reps of sit-ups and 4 reps of side to side shuffles followed by a lap around the park.
The finisher comprised 4 reps of jumping jacks and 4 reps of shoulder taps from plank position accompanied by the “Workout Rock Mix” with none other than “Thunderstruck by AC/DC” as the lead song.
Sorry to disappoint my colleague from .coaching with such a mid-weak workout (mispelling intended)! I overdid the cardio on the first two and had to stop to avoid overexertion! “Next time, Jonny!!”
