The thigh muscles are divided into the anterior-lateral group, the posterior group, and the medial group. The quadriceps femoris is one of the most powerful muscles in the human body and is composed of the rectus, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis and vastus medialis. The function of these four muscles is to keep the femur vertical to maintain the body upright and to assist in squatting and standing up. The anterolateral group also includes the sartorius muscle, one of the longest muscles in the human body, and the tensor fasciae latae. The former can flex and externally rotate the thigh and flex and internally rotate the calf, such as the leg movements when kicking shuttlecock; the latter can flex and internally rotate the thigh and can also provide auxiliary support for the contraction of the thigh muscles.

The muscles of the posterior group include the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus. The function of the biceps femoris is to flex and externally rotate the calf and extend the thigh; the functions of the semitendinosus and semimembranosus are the same as those of the biceps femoris except that they can internally rotate the calf.

The muscles of the medial group are the adductor magnus, pectineus, adductor brevis, adductor longus, and gracilis. These muscles ensure adduction, external rotation, extension, and flexion of the thigh and flexion and internal rotation of the calf.

The calf muscles are divided into the anterior, posterior and lateral groups. The function of the anterior group of muscles is to enable the foot and toes to complete various activities; the posterior group of muscles plays an important role in the back-pushing when running and the take-off when jumping; the function of the lateral group of muscles is mainly to maintain the arch of the foot.

The thigh muscles are one of the most powerful muscles in the human body. It can be said that it is not only the basis of whole body strength, but also the basis of a bodybuilding body. If the thigh and calf muscles are not well developed, the better the upper body muscles are trained, the more deformed the person will appear, and the body shape will not be symmetrical and toned.
