Detailed explanation-1: -When you exercise, your muscles convert stored energy into heat energy, causing your body to warm up. As your body heats up further, your brain’s thermostat, the hypothalamus, ensures you remain close to the normal core temperature-98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, or 37 degrees Celsius.
Detailed explanation-2: -As the body continues to get warmer, the heart pumps faster, bringing blood closer to the surface of the skin. The capillaries dilate, your skin turns pinker, and the beloved sweating process begins. Sweat seeps through our pores and evaporates, taking heat away from our body.
Detailed explanation-3: -In general, body core temperature is increased during whole-body continuous work and exercise. That is because energy produced in contracting muscles is used for muscle contraction by about 20 %, and the other 80 % is converted to heat energy and therefore increases muscle temperature.
