Elastic recoil forces, opposing muscle contraction and gravity
Restore muscles to their resting length.
Contracted due to length contraction, its length will be perceived to be shorter than a meter stick at rest. Specifically, the contracted length will be approximately 0.5 meters due to the effects of special relativity at the given speed of 0.87c.
It's maximum contraction is about one third of its resting length.

When an object is moving at relativistic speeds close to the speed of light (c), its length contracts in the direction of motion due to the effects of special relativity. This contraction is described by the Lorentz contraction formula, which states that the length of the meter stick as measured by an observer at rest relative to the stick is given by L = L₀√(1 - v²/c²), where L₀ is the proper length of the meter stick (1 meter in this case), v is the speed of the meter stick (0.80c), and c is the speed of light. Plugging in the values, the contracted length of the meter stick would be approximately 0.60 meters.

The muscle cell relaxes and returns passively to its resting length
Certain mechanisms within the brain and the rest of the central nervous system monitor the length of the muscles and help regulate contraction. Interruption of these mechanisms can cause spasm.

No, the length increases. When you are alive, the muscles are contracted in folds, and when you die, these folds relax, expanding the small intestine.
