A process, occurring in muscle, in which there is an increase in cell number by cell division, often leading to an increase in the size of an organ. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of muscle hyperplasia. Any process that stops, prevents, or reduces the frequency, rate, or extent of muscle hyperplasia. A process by which muscle adapts, with consequent modifications to structural and/or functional phenotypes, in response to a stimulus. Stimuli include contractile activity, loading conditions, substrate supply, and environmental factors. These adaptive events occur in both muscle fibers and associated structures (motoneurons and capillaries), and they involve alterations in regulatory mechanisms, contractile properties and metabolic capacities. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of muscle hyperplasia. A organ system process carried out at the level of a muscle. Muscle tissue is composed of contractile cells or fibers.
