Thank you. That's an interesting dimension for parsing the distinction. But it does seem to run up against our colloquial use of "condition" because we do refer it to short term, fixable conditions as well. You might refer to your condition right now as including a broken leg. Certainly in the sports world, "condition" is framed as reversible and whether you are "ready to play" this moment. And one's (cardiovascular) conditioning is seen as something alterable and improvable.
