Center of gravity:

  1. An imaginary point in a body of matter where, for convenience in certain calculations, the total weight of the body may be thought to be concentrated.

Why do females have a lower center of gravity than males?

  1. The majority of an individual's mass is concentrated near the Center of Gravity.
  2. Women often have larger pelvises than men, which causes them to have lower centers of gravity.

Hence, females have a lower center of gravity than males.
