Rate of heat output from resting human skeletal muscle

Forearm resting VO2 at 35°C 2.2 ml (liter muscle)−1 min−1 Zurlo et al. (1990)  
Rate of muscle heat production at 35°C 46 J (liter muscle)−1 min−1 Assuming 20.9 kJ (liter O2)−1 
Express in W (kg muscle)−1 0.73 W (kg muscle)−1 Muscle density, 1.06 kg liter−1 
Express in W (kg myoplasmic water)−1 1.2 W (kg myoplasmic H2O)−1 Whole muscle volume = 1.45 × myoplasmic H2O volume (Table 3) 
Rate of muscle heat production at 25°C 0.60 W (kg myoplasmic H2O)−1 Q10 = 2 (Barclay et al., 2009)
