I hope you can answer the question, because I didn’t find any approximated informations on this.

Answer
Anything that is done for health is allowed, what is done just for enjoyment is forbidden. Therefore a basketball game for fitness is allowed; for enjoyment os forbidden. A bath in luke warm water is allowed for cleanliness; for enjoyment is forbidden (A hot water shower is forbidden).
