Answer:

For thin filaments to continue to slide past thick filaments during muscle contraction, myosin heads must pull the actin at the binding sites, detach, re-c*ck, attach to more binding sites, pull, detach, re-c*ck, etc. This repeated movement is known as the cross-bridge cycle.

Hope this helps!
