- According to the sliding filament theory, the myosin (thick) filaments of muscle fibers slide past the actin (thin) filaments during muscle contraction, while the two groups of filaments remain at relatively constant length. It was independently introduced in 1954 by two research teams, one consisting of Andrew F.

The contraction of muscles occurring inside the body is based on the sliding filament theory. It involves generation of tension in a muscle through repetitive events which involves the sliding of thin actin filament over a thick myosin filament. ... Now the cross bridge can be formed between the myosin and actin.
