It is responsible for movements such as kicking, running, jumping, and squatting. The quad muscles are powerful and contribute to overall lower limb strength and stability.

a slang term that refers to four of a kind, which is a hand consisting of four cards of the same rank, such as four Jacks
A quad is a shorthand term used in poker to refer to "four of a kind," which is a hand consisting of four cards of the same rank and one unrelated card. For example, a hand with four aces and a 7 is a quad. It is a very strong hand, ranked above a full house but below a straight flush in standard poker hand rankings. If two players have quads, the hand with the higher set of four matching cards wins. If both have the same four of a kind, the fifth card, known as the kicker, is used to break the tie.
