In strength training, the squat is a compound, full body exercise that trains primarily the muscles of the thighs, hips and butts as well as strengthening the bones, ligaments.
Squats are one of the three lifts in the strength sport of power lifting.

Muscles engaged
The movement begins from a standing position. Weights are often used, either in the hand or as a bar braced across the trapezius muscle or rear deltoid muscle in the upper back.
The movement is initiated by moving the hips back and bending the knees
and hips to lower the torso and accompanying weight, then returning to
the upright position.
Two common errors include descending too rapidly and flexing the torso
too far forward. Rapid descent risks being unable to complete the lift
or causing injury.
