In my view we most certainly do, though of course not all the time.

Oscillations typically happen when moving quickly and then stopping at a certain position.

A prime example is the ISSF 25m rapid fire pistol event, where you start with the pistol pointing down at 45 degrees, and within 8, 6 and 4 seconds have to raise the pistol and take 5 aimed shots.

Beginners will often find they oscillate vertically above and below the center of the target as they raise the pistol, and it usually takes a fair bit of practice not to oscillate. This is more pronounced at the rapid pistol events due to the tight time constraint forcing them to move quickly, especially at the final 4 second round.

Another example is gymnastic rings, especially when they go from a swinging motion to stopping vertically or horizontally.

Anticipation-like movement often occurs when we want to get a bit of extra momentum. For example, casually tossing a base ball or tennis ball often results in a bit of backwards movement first, before the main swing. Typically it's one smooth movement.
