The quadriceps consist of four muscles located at the front of the upper leg and are more commonly known as "thighs". These muscles are the Vastus Lateralis, Vastus Intermedius, Vastus Medialis, and Rectus Femoris. They run along the front of the thigh, starting from the hip joint and ending at the knee joint. The four muscles act together to extend the knee and flex the hip. It is important to stretch these muscles especially before Walking, Running, Jumping, and Climbing.
