Stability & Range of Motion

Question 3 • High School Physical Education Morris 2026

Why do women typically tend to have slightly greater stability than men?

Answer
A
Women are shorter than men, and shorter people are more stable.
B
Men have more muscle mass in their lower bodies that makes them stiff and less stable.
C
Women have lower centers of gravity, and lower centers of gravity provide more stability.
D
The increased muscle mass in their upper bodies makes their centers of gravity difficult to find.

Explanation

A lower center of gravity generally makes a person more stable because it takes more effort to shift their balance. Women typically have a slightly lower center of gravity than men, so the best answer is “Women have lower centers of gravity, and lower centers of gravity provide more stability.”
