What the muscle is attached to
Which end of the muscle is fixed
The force of the contraction & the force of the resistance
The simultaneous actions of other muscles associated with the same structure. eg, when the muscle contracts, it pulls toward the middle, exerting equal force on attachments at both ends in an attempt to pull them toward each other.Which bone moves depends on the relative stability of the bones at that particular time.Stability of a bone at a given time is determined by contractions of muscles acting as stabilizers.
