Morphology
The meaning of 'physical fitness' is directly and compositionally derived from 'physical' (relating to the body) plus 'fitness' (condition of health/strength), so a learner who knows both words can infer the phrase. This collocation follows a common adjective+noun pattern and has clear cross-linguistic equivalents, making it immediately comprehensible to a B1 learner.
Etymology
Physical fitness is a phrase that gives a simple picture: physical means the body and fitness means being 'fit' — able and ready to move and work. So physical fitness describes a body that is strong and healthy from exercise and good food, which is why it means 'good health and strength'.
