Your muscles contract and stretch to produce movement.

For example, take your upper arms. You have your biceps and your triceps. As the biceps contract as you move your hand to your shoulder, your triceps stretch to allow movement. The same thing happens as you stretch your arm out straight, only vice versa.

I hope that helps.
