Your upper leg muscles or in other words your thighs.The upper thigh muscled called the Quadriceps or Quads. Quads straighten legs, glutes/hamstrings straighten the hips, erectors/abs hold the back straight, and calves straighten the foot. All are involved in the squat.
The squat works many muscles in the body in some form. The primary movers are the hamstrings, quads, and glutes. Assuming you are doing them correctly with your knees out and squatting below parallel, you should be using your hip adductors as well.
Squats are one of the best, if not the best, exercises you can do. This is because they work so many muscles, while forcing you to stabilize and balance your body under a heavy load. The primary muscles involved are the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, and adductors.

There are 3 main squat muscles: The upper distilic squat, the lower harbolio squat and the pingint squat. If you excersice these squats daily, they will form a very large and solid squat on your left kneecap.
However there are some medical precautions. If your knee squat grows to be larger than your head, than you must contact your local physician. They will find you a doner for a matching right knee squat. It is scientifically impossible to build up your right knee squat located on the kneecap.

Hamstrings, quads, calf and abdominal
Hamstrings, Quads, Calves.
quads (narrow squats) & gluteals & hamstrings (wide-positioned squats)
You probably haven't been using those muscles that you don't use a hole lot of. You just need to keep doing your squats to build up those muscles so then after you do your squats... they won't hurt. Trust me... my arm is really sore from softball pitching... it's just because i haven't been using those muscles for awhile and i need to strengthen those muscles :D
Squats and poly-metrics.
Yes, Because you are squatting
Squats and deadlifts will work your gluteal muscles (as well as many other muscles).
swimming... i think :)
They strengthen leg and back muscles if done properly.
lunges,squats,leg extentins
If they want to build up their muscles, yes.
Any exercise that involves the abdominal muscles or abs will be effective with continued use. Some exercises for abdominal muscles are squats, crunches, the side crunch. There are also exercise equipment made specifically for the abs.
