Note 1: the centroid position (M.C.) is determined by the distance from the measuring point to the centroid of the body. Note 2: the average value of the table is the average age of 11,164 adult men (18 years and 60 years old). Note 3: the relative position of the center of mass is the percentage of the upper part of the center of mass in each body segment. Example: the relative position of the center of mass of the head and neck = (head to center mass to head distance head neck length) × 100%; Relative weight of head and neck = head neck mass/overall quality) × 100%.
