Where does flexion of the arm occur?
at the elbow. "Flexion of the arm" just means to bend it.

What is the antagonist muscle in ankle plantar flexion?
Tiil adidas is the prime mover of ankle plantar flexion.
A prime mover of ankle planter flexion?

How can the term flexion apply to opposite movement of the foot?
The bending of the foot at the ankle has been argued which movenment is flexion and which extendtion. So to avoid arguemnet both lifting and lowerng the foot at the ankle was termed flexion. Dorsiflexion and plantarflexion respectively.

What are your lower body joint actions when you walk?
The ankle flexes as you place your heel down, then extends as your toes come down to the floor, repeating with each step. In coordination with the ankle flexion, the knee bends, then extends to push the lower leg forward. As the ankle and knee perform their flexion and extension, the hip joint on the same side must also flex and extend, while the spine continually 'adjusts' during the lower limbs' movements.
What muscles are agonists in plantar flexion?
The opposite of plantar flexion is dorsiflexion. Plantar flexion means to increase the angle at the ankle, as in tip-toeing. The muscles involved in dorsiflexion (picking up the toes) are:tibialis anterior muscleextensor hallucis longus muscleextensor digitorum longus muscleperoneus tertius
