Question

3 Take several steps at a normal pace. Notice how your leg swings around naturally to the center before you put your leg down, enabling you to walk a straight line. Where do you think the muscle group that causes this is found? As mentioned, humans have balance problems that our quadrupedal relatives do not because of our mode of locomotion. 4 Remain standing, and pretend that you are about to cross a log lying across a deep gorge between two cliffs. How would you position yourself to best avoid a fall? How would this affect your center of mass and your base of support? 5 What if you expect someone to try to push you over? How would you change your body position? Would this change your center of mass? What about your base of support?
