   The sliding filament theory is the explanation for how muscles produce force (or, usually, shorten).  It explains that the thick and thin filaments within the sarcomere slide past one another, shortening the entire length of the sarcomere.  In order to slide past one another, the myosin heads will interact with the actin filaments and, using ATP, bend to pull past the actin.
