What muscles work together to straighten your leg?

The muscles used to straighten the leg are commonly known as the Quadriceps, a group of four muscles on the front of the thigh. This, however, is only the cast when the knee is isolated. If you were to stand up from a squatted position, you would also be using your gluteal muscles as well as your hamstrings to extend the thigh and stabilize the knee, while your quads and inner thigh muscles (the adductor) help to straighten the the knee. You would also be using your calf muscles to straighten the ankle.

How do your muscles beomce more pliable?

You are assuming that it is possible to increase the elasticity in your muscles, and it is not clear that it is. Muscles are connected to tendons (that are connected to bones). Muscles and tendons work together. When one uses stretching exercises to increase flexibility, one is actually always stretching muscles along with tendons. It is not really possible to separate them. If you want greater flexibility, do a whole body stretching routine 2 or 3 times weekly. It's very important to stretch muscles and tendons that are warm and full of blood; otherwise, you may injure yourself. So, stretch after exercise rather than before exercise. It is also important to avoid ballistic stretching if you are after increased flexibility. Stretch slowly and try to feel the stretch. Stretch just to the point of discomfort and hold the stretch for at least 20 or 30 seconds. Do not bounce. If you follow these guidelines, your flexibility will gradually improve. Remember, though, that there are great individual differences. Just because someone else is able to do a certain stretch does not mean that you will be able to do it. So, 'listen' to your own body. ----
