Well, say you were trying to do a cartwheel off of a balance beam. You would need to estimate how far you should walk on the beam until you make your leap of faith. You also need to estimate how much you weigh on each side and where on your feet you should land so you don't fall flat on your face. The same with the bars. You need to figure out how much momentum you need to flip yourself over. Too much will make you fly, and too little will bring you back to where you started. People do math all day and don't realize it.
