somy · Answer

i don't know this topic but i just went through it i think about shortening of this filament you are right and thick filaments pull the thin filaments past them so i guess the thick ones do stretch http://health.howstuffworks.com/human-body/systems/musculoskeletal/muscle2.htm @Abhisar
