running, climbing stairs
Basically, quadriceps are used to extend the lower leg to straighten it.
Running and walking does use the same muscles in the body. Three of the main muscles used in the legs are hamstrings, quadriceps and gluteal muscles.
The patella is embedded in the tendon of the quadriceps muscle, specifically in the tendon of the quadriceps femoris. It acts to protect and provide leverage for this muscle during movements like running and jumping.
