Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of muscle filament sliding. Movement of organelles or other particles along actin filaments, or sliding of actin filaments past each other, mediated by motor proteins. The actin filament-based process by which cytoplasmic actin filaments slide past one another resulting in contraction of all or part of the cell body. 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. The sliding of actin thin filaments and myosin thick filaments past each other in muscle contraction. This involves a process of interaction of myosin located on a thick filament with actin located on a thin filament. During this process ATP is split and forces are generated. A organ system process carried out at the level of a muscle. Muscle tissue is composed of contractile cells or fibers. The sliding movement of actin thin filaments and myosin thick filaments past each other.
