If you need references on a frame-by-frame basis, I think your best bet would be to find an animation you like and create the references yourself. As an example, apparently you can advance a youtube video frame-by-frame:
My question to you though is why you feel you need references for each frame. Post-to-pose references I could understand, but this seems like overkill. Maybe I’m not understanding what you’re asking.

You could look up Eadweard Muybridge for his various photographic motion captures. But no one is likely to have exactly what you seem to expect. I do not think anyone uses such exact reference, the art is in making it look real, right. Of course professionals now just use motion capture.
You could film yourself doing the action, then laying out each frame from the video.

The thing is you’re not likely to find anything outside of walk and run. Walk and run cycles are used for teaching the process. The rest moves into motion study. Even walk and run cycles have a motion study. Where you start adding character and emotional traits to your walk and run. Also, there are so many types of jumping, falling, etc. once you learn the workflow you move on to breaking down action by studying motion.
Here’s a video to get you started on learning falls
