while doing leg split, flexion occurs at hip and extension at knee joint . it cause stretching of hamstring muscles which are situated at posterior part of thigh.sudden stretching can cause severe spasm in these muscle group and some times it may lead to tear of muscle at its origin (these muscle originates from ischial tuberosity ,the bone on which we sit). Rest,ice ,muscle relaxants and analgesics such as ibuprofen may help you .
