The agonist in the hamstring muscles, primarily when flexing the knee, is the hamstring group itself, which includes the biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus. These muscles contract to produce the movement, while the quadriceps act as the antagonist, opposing the action of knee flexion. The hamstrings also assist in hip extension when the hip is flexed.
