In a way this is right with high intense/extreme sport. (I did Thai Boxing in my youth, but stopped at some point)
But it is very wrong otherwise, joints for example will suffer if not moved. Blood will only flow into all the areas of the joints if they are moved. And if you don't move, your muscles will be gone and without muscles to hold your joints, loss of stability, great risk of injury, etc.
And don't forget benefits of weight training in improving bone density and preventing osteoporosis as we age.
And strengthening the nerves and all the other body parts that degrade with being idle.
