I'm assuming you mean your Tibia, one of the two bones in your lower leg. That being said, you'll need to use it in any sport that requires the use of your legs! Particularly where running, kicking or jumping is necessary.
Sports like soccer/football, Baseball and some others often have players wear "shin guards" to protect the sensitive areas above the lower leg from impact during play.

What is tibial spiking?
Tibial spiking (spurring of tibial spines), is considered as one of the features of osteoarthritis. The other two are eburnation, and osteophytes.
What four veins serve the leg?
femoral, posterior tibial, anterior tibial
Three veins serving the leg?
The three main veins serving the leg are the anterior tibial vein, posterior tibial vein, and peroneal vein. They are responsible for returning blood from the lower leg back to the heart.
What contributes to the formation of the popliteal vein?
The popliteal vein carries blood from the knee to the thigh and calf muscles and ultimately to the heart. The vein is formed from the merging of the two posterior tibial veins and ends as it merges in to the femoral vein.
Point where the patellar ligament attaches?
The patellar ligament attaches to the tibial tuberosity, which is a bony prominence on the anterior aspect of the tibia. It is the distal portion of the quadriceps tendon, which extends from the quadriceps muscle over the patella and then becomes the patellar ligament when it attaches to the tibial tuberosity.
What is the common name for tibial crest?
The common name for the tibial crest is the shinbone.
Three arteries serving the leg inferior to the knee?
anterior tibial, posterior tibial, and peroneal
Artery serves the posterior thigh?
I believe that is the Femoral artery.
What is the cpt code for suture of the posterior tibial nerve?
The CPT code for suture of the posterior tibial nerve is 99211.
What does Tibial nerve do?
Tibial nerves main function is to plantar flex and invert the foot
The posterior side of the thigh leg and foot is served by what nerve?
The posterior side of the thigh, leg, and foot are served by the tibial nerve. The tibial nerve is a branch of the sciatic nerve.
The sciatic nerve is composed of what two nerves?
the common peroneal nerve and the tibial nerve:Common Peroneal Nerve, comprised of nerve fibers from L5, S1, S2, and S3.Tibial Nerve comprised of nerve fibers from L4, L5, S1, S2 and S3)
