French term or phrase: continuité dans les actions
This is in a Canadian document listing what physical Education skills children in grades 6-8 should have.

L'élève doit pouvoir:
...
effectuer, en appliquant des principes de mécanique, des actions locomotrices utiles à la pratique de diverses activités physiques et sportives;
...
déplacement à l'aide d'objets véhiculants; actions de locomotion (propulsion, virage, freinage); liaison; **continuité dans les actions**; équilibre dynamique (orientation du regard, centre de gravité, transfert de poids, changement de direction); ajustement (vitesse, rythme des poussées)

simply "continuity of actions" or is there a term more specific to this field? Thanks!
