Head down, bum up?

So I had a bike fit at the weekend, and one of the questions I asked was 'what does a lower hand hold do', in terms of efficiency or power etc. I didn't get a clear enough answer really.
I can see the lower centre of gravity being a large part of it, but are there different groups of muscles used?
The fitting I had shows me to be in a new position, with the bars about an inch higher than they were, and back a shade.

No idea but I remember the netball team at uni had the slogan "Heads down, Bums up, that's the way we like to ..."Triban 30

Probably makes you lower on the bike, thus more aero dynamic meaning you should go faster for the same effort when in that position??0
