Using an extreme example I think they mean a striker shouldn't be able to run straight to the opposition goal line when play starts and hang around there all match just waiting to pounce and/or disrupting the goal keeper. This is called goal-hanging and was very much a thing until the offside rule was brought in to stop it.

I doubt anyone would want to penalise displays of superior athleticism, that would be completely antithetical to sport in general.
