Explanation:
Hola Andrea,
Sólo una sugerencia.
Estoy de acuerdo con los colegas que opinan que tal vez tradujeron literalmente "leg" como "pierna". En todo caso, uno de los significados que tiene la palabra "leg" en inglés es el de "etapa":

leg
5. (in a journey) - etapa

etapa f stage, phase: haremos el trabajo por etapas, we'll do the work in stages
