rhythm
Quick Reference
Any sequence of regularly recurring functions or events, such as certain physiological processes (e.g. see circadian rhythm). Locomotory movements may also have a rhythm as in the regular repetition of a stride sequence in running or the stroke action in swimming. A sense of rhythm and an ability to maintain a regular sequence during locomotory functions is an important skill in sport. See also timing.
