Identify the correct statement regarding the use of ATP in muscle contraction:
1. ATP cannot be directly used for muscle contraction.
2. ATP is not required for muscle relaxation.
3. When ATP is hydrolyzed, the conformation of myosin is changed.
4. Once the cross-bridge is formed, the hydrolysis of ATP initiates the power stroke.
