Regularity is the condition of that which is regular (that adjusts to a certain order, maintains a certain frequency or is of average or not so good quality).
For example: “The team cannot achieve consistency and only plays well from time to time,” “If you do physical activity regularly, you reduce the risk of suffering from various health disorders,” “My husband has not worked regularly in the last year.” "That's why we have a lot of economic problems."
Regularity in sport
Regularity is usually associated with something positive . In the field of sport , teams aspire to maintain regularity since this implies achieving a certain solidity in operation, without showing too many weaknesses. That is why athletes usually try to achieve regularity.
“Rafael Nadal expressed his joy for the victory and indicated that he will continue training in double shifts to achieve the regularity that he lost after his injury to his right wrist” is an expression that shows this use of the term.
stability

Studying is one of the activities that requires the most regularity to successfully complete it, since it is not only about touching on each of the topics present in a program, but also about incorporating them and making them part of our lives. In the case of a computer science course, for example, it is not enough to know by heart the names of the most important applications and operating systems, nor to automatically repeat the definitions of the various programming languages used for web development: it is in the regular use and application of such concepts in practice is truly learned.
After a superficial observation of some Western and Eastern societies, one of the differences that usually jumps out is the lack of perseverance and dedication of the former, in contrast to the ability to focus on personal and professional development that seems to stand out in the last.

If they are carried out without the necessary regularity, with the absence of observations and inspections of the case, the elections turn out to be fraudulent.
This last example illustrates the meaning of the term that prevails in the definition of the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ), since it speaks more of an action carried out in accordance with a series of rules than of the frequent repetition of a task. . In this sense, the observation of the results of a given procedure, by a supervisor or a specialist, usually gives rise to the issuance of a judgment, which revolves around the regularity or irregularity of the same, depending on the results . respected a certain code or not .
The term linked to the intestines
On the other hand, there is the concept of intestinal regularity , which refers to the frequency with which our digestive system is able to complete the entire process .
It is also known as intestinal rhythm and there are a large number of products specially designed to improve it, generally in the form of yogurt, although the best advice to treat any health disorder seems to be to lead a calm life, avoid the problems that obfuscate us and people who hurt us.
