Yesterday I was being dumb and did the splits but did it too fast and hard, and right as I landed I heard a pop. Nothing is bruised though on the back of my thigh. I m still able to walk and do all the normal stuff perfectly fine. I can still bend and extend my leg perfectly fine without any pressure. It is still sore though if bend down too much though. Any idea of what it may be? The majority of people told me I just over stretched it.
Hi. The popping sounds what you heard while landing could be a muscle moving over the bone hard as you were explosive at that time. It could be a friction release in the knee joint...Don't worry. I recommend you to... Do apply a lot of ice as a precautionary measure.stretch your front thigh muscles hamstring and calf... Since you are not complaining of any pain and stiffness possible there is not much of a damage. Next time be careful while doing such exercises. Hope this is helpful for you. Kindly revert in case you need any further help in this regard...
