Morphology
The noun phrase meaning 'the state of a person's body' is directly and predictably composed from 'physical' (relating to the body) + 'condition' (state), so a B1 learner who knows both words can infer the MWE meaning. This adj+noun composition is a straightforward, cross-linguistically common pattern and does not require idiomatic knowledge.
Etymology
Physical condition paints a picture of the physical body and its condition, like checking a car's condition to see if it runs well. So it means the body's 'health' or 'fitness'.
