What percentage of heat keeps the body warm due to muscle movement?

Human skeletal muscle averages from around 18% to 26% efficiency. This means that from 82% to 74% of that energy is turned into heat. If you looked at total caloric consumption of our muscles compared to the caloric consumption of other organs, you could then extrapolate a rough estimate of how much heat the muscles produce. To be more accurate, you would want to find out the efficiency of every system in the body, figure out how many calories they use on average per day, and then get a total heat that you could then factor out the heat generated by our skeletal muscle.

The specific skeletal muscle responsible for movement will depend on what movement is being made.
