An increase in body temperature that results from involuntary shivering.

Explanation:

Shivering is the involuntary, rhythmic contraction of skeletal muscles. Extra heat is produced by an increase in metabolic rate (thermogenesis) particularly of the liver and skeletal muscles. The stored glycogen is broken down into glucose which can provide energy to the body. The metabolic rate increases.
