Detailed explanation-1: -The hamstrings are the agonist and the quadriceps are the antagonist. In the contact and recovery phase, the quadriceps contract to extend the knee while the hamstrings lengthen to allow the movement.
Detailed explanation-2: -The primary agonist muscles used during the squat are the quadriceps femoris, the adductor magnus, and the gluteus maximus.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hamstrings. The quads and glutes are the main agonists when squatting, and they make up two of the three major leg muscles.
Detailed explanation-4: -A proper squat will set up the external rotators of your femurs to keep the knees traveling in line with the toes. As they do this, their antagonist muscles-the adductors-are lengthening eccentrically.
Detailed explanation-5: -The hamstrings are antagonists to the quadriceps femoris muscle group, which are used to flex the leg at the knee.
