Center of Gravity to people By: Joe Pizzo and Nick Kilkenny
Differences based on physical things • Women have a lower CG. • Women’s CG is less because they have smaller shoulders but a large pelvis, causing weight to be more evenly distributed. • Children have a higher CG because they have larger heads. • The CG is changed by things such as raising your arms, or bending over.
CG can be altered. • Your Cg is typically 2-3 cm below your navel, and midway between your front and back. • Bending over and touching your toes is a perfect example of Cg moving. This is because when you bend over your CG is normally centered, but if not you will bounce. • If the center of gravity extends beyond it’s support base toppling occurs
