When your muscles use energy to power muscle contraction 3 quarters turns into heat.

Your body is trying to generate heat to keep you warm by making your muscles work.
False
You don't generate temperature. You generate heat. If something should happen to absorb the heat, then you can measure the temperature of that thing and calculate how much heat has been absorbed. When heat travels through space from one place to another, it's traveling in the form of invisible light called 'infrared radiation'. We use that method to move heat, absorb it, and cause a temperature rise every day. It's how we toast bread in a toaster.
That is not a straightforward answer because heat isn't produced by body weight but as a waste product of metabolism. The more metabolically active a tissue is, the more heat it will generate. So like muscle tissue will generate more heat than adipose (fat) tissue.
Heat is generated by muscles as well as the act of digestion.
because muscles generate heat when they work.
Shivering is the rapid contraction and relaxation of muscles to generate heat.

Its an animal that lives in the Tundra, and it shivers its flight muscles to generate heat, and it also has dense hair on their body's which slows heat loss to the air! :D
Muscles can generate pressure. Using transducers, pressure can be converted into electricity.
They are cold-blooded most of the time, but can vibrate certain muscles extremely fast to generate heat if need be.
In general, the entire human body generates heat, but the majority of it is created by the muscles. The body runs on chemical energy, which is released, one of the by products is heat. All of the muscles will generate heat. The brain, the digestive process and the other organs generate some of the heat in their operation.
Shivering is a reflex triggered in response to hypothermia in which muscles shake in an attempt to generate heat. The energy expended during the shaking becomes heat.
The skeletal muscles are responsible for heat generation in the body. This is because they account for 40% of body mass and are required for maintaining body temperature.
The main function of any muscle is to contract. Some other functions of muscles and the muscular system are that they: maintain the body's posture stabilize joints produce movement generate heat
