Final answer:

Muscle contraction is maximized during Step 6: the slide in the sliding filament theory.


Explanation:

The greatest muscle contraction occurs during Step 6: the slide in the sliding filament theory.

During this step, the myosin heads pull the actin filaments towards the center of the sarcomere, resulting in muscle contraction.

This movement is known as the power stroke and is where the force is generated for muscle contraction.
