This event focused on educating athletes and students interested in sports medicine about shin splints and stroke awareness. The presentation highlighted the causes, symptoms, treatment, and prevention strategies for shin splints/MTSS. Ambassadors also learned crucial steps to take while managing shin pain, including physical therapy exercises and cross-training methods. Stroke awareness was also addressed, with a focus on recognizing the signs of a stroke using the BE FAST acronym. Discussion activities allowed attendees to engage with the information, and bone models helped to visually explain the anatomy involved.
