The heat capacity of a body.
The ability to absorb and communicate large quantities of heat. It is much harder to raise the temperature of water than air. A layer of water around the body does not insulate, but instead conducts heat. The temperature of pool water (approximately 83 degrees) decreases the load on the heart by assisting in cooling the body. Evaporation of sweat is one of the most important ways the body loses heat after immersion in a pool. Heat is lost much faster in water than air, allowing far greater training intensities and durations. The water's ability to cool the body is also a benefit far people who tend to overheat while exercising, and in conditions such as pregnancy or multiple sclerosis, where maintaining a lower core body temperature is very important.

The ability of a material to store heat. Technically as the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of unit mass of an object by a unit increment in temperature.
(Heat Capacity) is the rate of change in enthalpy with temperature. It is commonly measured at constant pressure or at constant volume. The values are different and are known as cp and cv respectively.

The ratio between thermal capacity of a substance and thermal capacity of water.
The ratio of thermal energy required to raise the temperature of a body 1° to the thermal energy required to raise an equal mass of water 1°.
Compare with heat capacity. The heat required to raise the temperature of 1 g of a substance by 1°C is called the specific heat of the substance. Specific heat is an intensive property with units of J g-1 K-1.
The amount of heat required to raise the unit weight of a material one degree of temperature at constant pressure.
Temperature is measure of heat energy level whereas heat is a measure of total internal energy contained in a body. When the same quantity of heat is given to equal masses of different substances, they do not result in the same rise in temperature. The specific heat is defined as the quantity of heat energy which will rise the temperature of unit mass (1kg) of a substance by 10C. Heat = mass x specific heat x Temperature rise.
In English units, the quantity of heat, in British thermal units, needed to raise the temperature of one pound of material one degree Fahrenheit.
A property that indicates the amount of energy glass stores for each degree increase in temperature, on a per unit mass basis. Its units are J/kg-K.
The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of a unit weight of a substance by 1 degree; usually expresses as calories/gram/C or BTU/lb./F.
ratio of the thermal capacity of a substance to that of water at 15°C. Heat required to raise 1 gram of material, such as discoloration due to heat or light.

The specific heat at constant pressure of a gas is designated cp. The specific heat at constant volume of a gas is designated cv. The ratio of the two (cp/cv), is called the ratio of specific heats, k.
Ratio of the heat capacity of a substance to the heat capacity of water. The quantity of heat required for a 1°F temperature change per unit weight of material. Water = 1.0 Btu's/lb/°F. Most organic substances are less than 0.5, most organic solvents are between 0.4 and 0.7 and steel is 0.12.
