a sarcomere is based on a pioneering model by Huxley 7 ; the so-called “cross-bridge theory.” According to this prevailing theory, myosin heads attach to the actin filament, pulling it toward the M-line in the center of the sarcomere, thereby producing active force as the sarcomere shortens. Besides
