Answer for question #1
Muscle Mass - Muscle is the source of heat generation. The more muscle you have, the more heat you can produce. Muscle activity explais why physical activity increases body temperature. Fat reduces the loss of heat generated by muscle. A lean, muscular person can generate a large amount of heat, but the heat will be lost quickly in water unless the diver is well insulated.
