Does anyone else have a problem where the outside of your lower legs (called the peroneal muscle) hurts when you vault/tumble/land on beam?
Mine usually start up especially if I do two hard practices in a row, or have gymnastics two days in a row. If we sprint outside for vault it really flairs up, and also really flares up if we do lots of plyometrics. I was just wondering if anyone had exercises that have helped. Currently I ice them down after practice and just limit my number of turns where there is a lot of pounding, and use sting mats/8 inchers whenever possible. I also vault w/ the minitramp sometimes to eliminate pound the board.
Its very frustrating because its limiting my training hours, and I have been battling this problem ever since I was 15, and that is about 8 years of being in gymnastics dealing w/ this.
