“The volume builds performance potential and the intensity realizes it through sports specific means”

If this is true would doing high rep bodyweight squats, push ups, sit ups, and lots of hills, jumping rope, and fitness based stuff over a long period of time (like Alan Wells or Herschel Walker) potentiate better performances once this work was tapered?

I know Herschel ran 10.2 in the 100m I believe, maybe his odd training regime helped him.
