Question

Which of the following activities does NOT improve stability?

A.

maintaining a narrow base
B.

lowering your center of gravity
C.

doing balancing exercises
D.

leaning into oncoming forces

Answer 1

A.

maintaining a narrow base

Answer 2

In order to improve stability, one must not maintain a narrow base. Maintaining a narrow base does not improve stability because a narrow base makes it harder to balance. The bigger the base, the higher center of gravity there is, which in turn leads to more stability.
