Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of muscle contraction. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of muscle filament sliding. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of muscle contraction. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of muscle contraction. A process whereby force is generated within muscle tissue, resulting in a change in muscle geometry. Force generation involves a chemo-mechanical energy conversion step that is carried out by the actin/myosin complex activity, which generates force through ATP hydrolysis. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a system process, a multicellular organismal process carried out by any of the organs or tissues in an organ system. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a muscle system process, a multicellular organismal process carried out by any of the organs or tissues in a muscle system. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of striated muscle contraction. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of smooth muscle contraction. A organ system process carried out at the level of a muscle. Muscle tissue is composed of contractile cells or fibers.
