A general science question

This is a question I just came to know about. I am not really aware of the answer, so anybody who wants to help is most welcome.

Our body temperature is about 37 degree centigrade. So, when the temperature of the atmosphere is 40 degree centigrade, we feel hot. Now suppose we do a lot of exercise and our body temperature is raised to 42 degree centigrade. We should feel cold, as heat flows from our body to the surrounding. But after doing exercise, we feel hot. Why is it so?

I know its a silly question, but any help will be of great value.
Thank you.
Its no actually classical mechanics.

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

  • Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
  • Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
  • Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
  • Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

During any exercise work is done and this work done is transformed into heat energy. So we will be feeling at least that amount of heat energy

I think this question has to do with biology because our body automatically regulates the temperature and never lets it rise beyond a certain limit (at least not to 42 degrees). If our temperature rose that high, blood's pH will decrease and it won't be able to function as a buffer.

In short, we don't rise to 42 degrees during exercise and that's why we feel hot.
