when you stretch the muscle fiber, distance btw z lines increase. up to a point actin and myosin interaction is enhanced. so when it starts to contract more force will be produced due to more cross bridges. but if you further stretch interaction btw actin and myosin will be lesser, which will produce weak force when contracted. i think this is called the frank starling law.
