I don't think this reasoning is correct or has ever been shown to have any correlation. You perform exercises in the gym to increase a muscle(s) ability to produce force. That's all that's really achieved. The skill and sport like maneuvering is practiced and learned in the discipline you're studying.

Spacing workouts over a month might increase strenght but I doubt it did anything for conditioning.
Exercises to increase the muscle's ability to produce force is important. As well as, training the energy systems the muscles use for the appropriate sport/activity. Force production is only 1 facet of the game. The workouts using compound movements like deads and squats etc...that challenge the muscle, cardiovascular and nervous system all contribute to better strength and conditioning gains.
