Introduction: Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome can be defined as pain along the posteromedial edge of the tibia that occurs during exercise. Its incidence can reach 35% in military and athletes. Objective: The study aimed to show the prevalence of the syndrome in students of Physical education and Physical therapy courses at UFES. Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out on 141 students. All students answered a questionnaire about personal data, level of physical activity and clinical history of the syndrome. A physical exam was performed for those who presented with compatible clinical history. If it were positive, it would be suggestive that the student had the syndrome. Results: Our results demonstrate no significant differences between the prevalence of syndrome between courses, gender and the volume of physical activity between groups with and without the syndrome. The activity with the most reported by the positives was weight training. Conclusion: We conclude that possibly extrinsic factors such as volume and type of physical activity are less linked to the emergence of medial tibial stress syndrome.
