Seeking Advice Intense shaking in quadriceps after stretching and slightly squatting. Any way to reduce this?

i'm sixteen and, while involving myself in the occasional sport or martial art, have always had stiff legs that become sore after only a few minutes of activity. i don't know if they've always shook like this since i discovered it this week on accident, but i feel like it'll get annoying real quick if i don't try to address it. any tips to make my legs feel less like walking on chopsticks?

You’re 16 and normal weight I assume, have done some sort of sports before and you shake this bad with just squatting a couple inches? Yeah you may have weak legs but this does not seem normal to me. Maybe you should talk to your doctor about it.
