Abstract: The purpose of this research is to identify the correlation between the amount of voltage generated to the body mass index (BMI) number by performing the lateral pull down using the home gym equipment. The home gym equipment was customized by connecting a simple generator set-up, where the car alternator is used as the generator and the equipment as the prime mover of the assembly. The experimental method was used in the study and used the Pearson correlation coefficient to test the correlation of the voltage generated and to the body mass index number of the thirteen participants, which are all males and with age between 16 to 22 years old, assuming that there is a linear correlation between the two parameters. The thirteen participants performed the lateral pull down routine up to their limit of endurance or until they decided to stop. The duration of the individual’s exercise was recorded to compute for the total voltage generated. The result shows that the value of Pearson correlation coefficient, which is equal to 0.558, is greater than the critical value which is 0.553. Thus, it can be concluded that there is a moderated positive correlation between the amount of voltage generated to the body mass index number of male participants. It is recommended to improve the assembly by using permanent magnet for the generator and to test the correlation by performing other forms of routine applicable using the home gym equipment.
