When I do my plyo sessions consisting of sprints/SL bounds/depth jumpd/pogos, I don't get shin splints if I do it in a indoor bball gym, but I get them whenever I do them on outdoor turf. Can that be the reason?
definitely... wooden gym floors are springy, they help to absorb more force.. hard surface is alot more intense.. for people with splint issues, that's often the case that hard surface really wrecks them up.. maybe just jump/sprint for now on hard surface, and perform all plyo/intense reactive work on either hard grass surface or indoor wooden court.. don't do it on hard court if it's causing splits, stay away from it and let yourself heal up.
