Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of a multicellular organismal process, the processes pertinent to the function of a multicellular organism above the cellular level; includes the integrated processes of tissues and organs. Any biological process, occurring at the level of a multicellular organism, pertinent to its function. Any process that modulates 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 stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of muscle contraction. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of smooth muscle contraction. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of striated muscle contraction. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of an organismal process, the processes pertinent to the function of an organism above the cellular level; includes the integrated processes of tissues and organs. 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 stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of a biological process. Biological processes are regulated by many means; examples include the control of gene expression, protein modification or interaction with a protein or substrate molecule. A organ system process carried out at the level of a muscle. Muscle tissue is composed of contractile cells or fibers.
