> Seems like you discovered it already, but shin splints, knee problems, back problems, etc. are usually based in either bad shoes or bad form.

The way you're moving the goal post surely counts as exercise as well.

Running does improve health in some aspects, but it also causes significant health problems as well. Running isn't the only form of exercise.

Sounds like this person had an injury, didn't treat it, and it got worse. It seems like a pretty huge, unsubstantiated leap to claim that running "causes significant health problems".
