Rhythmic Definition from Encyclopedia Dictionaries & Glossaries
Rhythm (from Greek ῥυθμός—rhythmos, "any regular recurring motion, symmetry") may be generally defined as a "movement marked by the regulated succession of strong and weak elements, or of opposite or different conditions." This general meaning of regular recurrence or pattern in time may be applied to a wide variety of cyclical natural phenomena having a periodicity or frequency of anything from microseconds to millions of years.

Rhythmic Definition from Sports Dictionaries & Glossaries
Rhythmic gymnastics developed out of 19th century Swedish and German gymnastic styles and was added to the Summer Olympic Games in 1984.
Rhythmic gymnastics is a sport where competitors manipulate 5 types of apparatus: rope, hoop, ball, clubs and ribbon. Competition takes place individually or in teams of five. Competitors are rewarded points by a selected team of judges for leaps, balances, pivots, flexibility, apparatus handling and artistic effect.
The largest events in the sport are the Olympic Games, World Championships, and the Corbeil-Essonnes Tournament.
At the moment, rhythmic gymnastics is a sport for girls, however, there is a movement to officially create rhythmic gymnastics for men. Men's rhythmic gymnastics is already popular in Japan.
