Translating Basic Physics To The Body

Let's replace our simplistic examples with the human body, standing squarely on the feet. Figure 26 shows someone standing on their two feet in a relaxed position. Notice that the center of mass in the body is around the hips. When standing upright, the center of mass is over the center of the feet, the base of support, thus creating a center of pressure. As you sway slightly from front to back, you can feel the center of pressure change and move around over your feet.
