In reply to Elisabeth Davidson's query this morning: a good starting point for
(planar) mass distribution properties is David Winter's book `The Biomechanics
of Human Movement', John Wiley, Chichester/New York 1979.
Actually, it might be useful to look not only to the centres of gravity of the
(upper and lower) leg(s), but also to those of the HAT (Head-Arms-Trunk) system.
