Sliding filament theory can be best explained as
1. when myofilaments slide pass each other, actin filaments shorten while myosin filaments do not shorten
2. actin and myosin filaments shorten and slide pass each other
3. actin and myosin filaments do not shorten but rather slide pass each other
4. when myofilaments slide pass each other, myosin filaments shorten while actin filaments do not shorten
