Agonist(s) - Gluteus Maximus/Quadriceps Femoris
Synergist(s) - Biceps Femoris (Hamstrings)
Stabilizer(s) - Transversus Abdominis

Movement(s) - Hip Extension/Knee Extension
Planes - Sagittal Plane
Your agonist(s) (when done properly i.e. sitting back/knees out) for a squat will be your glutes and quadriceps. Your synergist(s) will actually be your hamstrings as the biceps femorislong head assists greatly in hip extension. Your antagonist(opposing muscle) during a squat will be your Hip flexors i.e. Hip flexion.

Difference between agonist and antagonist?
Agonist works with the muscles, and the antagonist is the muscle working against it in a contraction. i.e. Bicep curl, the agonist is the Biceps brachii and the antagonist muscle is the triceps brachii.The word agonist means "producing an action" - an antagonist opposes that action. In medicine, an agonist binds to a receptor site and causes a response, often imitating the natural body reaction. An antagonist acts against this drug and blocks the response. for examples ramiels small balls and pubic hair
