Continuity Editing
What is it?
Match on action (or cutting on action) is an editing technique for continuity editing in which one shot cuts to another shot, portraying the action of the subject within the first shot. This creates the impression of a sense of continuity- the action carrying through creates a 'visual bridge' which draws the viewer's attention away from slight cutting or continuity issues. This is not a graphic match or match cut, it portrays a continuous sense of the same action rather than matching two separate things.
And here is a visual example. The YouTube video below shows a short sequence from the famous American TV show, Friends.

Good - create a clear title - MATCH ON ACTION. Use larger fonts for titles or headings.
