Body Heat and Energy Conversion During Running: Fact or Fiction?

[Peter G.]

Hi,

When we run, our body temperature increases because as we convert the chemical energy from the food in our muscles into mechanical energy, some of it is lost as heat, increasing the internal energy of the molecules and, hence, the temperature?

Is everything I said correct?

Thanks in advance,
Peter G

Yes, all of that is correct.
