Rupture : You may have caused some minor bleed with your exercise but it will gradually resolve and disappear. Good Luck

Muscle cramp: Generally muscle cramps do not result in enough tissue injury to cause bruising, but if you did not suffer a contusion to that thigh while exercising vigorously, the muscle cramping must have been severe enough to cause some tissue damage.
