E-Tech is proud to announce that it will be one of the sponsors for RECHARGE™ 2024 hosted by Body & Soul® Fitness. The convention will take place from October 3-6, 2024 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. This annual event will feature top leaders in the fitness industry to educate and guide thousands on their fitness journey. Attendees will learn about new research in teaching techniques, industry trends and they will enjoy a weekend of refreshment surrounded by women with a common goal.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “too many adults are inactive, and inactivity levels differ notably by race and ethnicity.” Overall, in January 2020, Hispanics had the highest prevalence of physical inactivity (31.7%), followed by non-Hispanic blacks (30.3%) and non-Hispanic whites (23.4%). And over time, physical inactivity can increase your risk of obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes and many cancers.

As Ethnic Technologies is painfully aware in its work with major healthcare companies, some ethnicities have higher rates of certain diseases that have been linked to physical inactivity. In 2018, the American Heart Association published two infographics that show mortality rates by race for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and stroke. Both infographics emphasized that Black adults have higher rates in both CVD and stroke, being 32% more likely to have CVD and 45% more likely to have a stroke. The CDC also published an article on heart disease facts, with a table showing the percentage of deaths caused by heart disease in 2021, listed by ethnicity, in which the Black population also had the highest rate of deaths, at 22%.

“As we move forward in a society that is more and more multicultural in nature, Body & Soul’s commitment to helping all people achieve better fitness and higher levels of physical activity and Ethnic Technologies desire to improve the health of all races and ethnicities are goals that work well together,” said Zack Wilhoit, CEO of E-Tech. E-Tech’s data-driven, multicultural software helps healthcare and wellness providers identify and reach out to all people that are most at risk.

E-Tech has worked to help people of all ethnic backgrounds and all faiths for more than 25 years.
