Is there a biological/physiological reason why children have so much energy? I was thinking, surely there must be a scientific explanation, and could this be replicated in adult humans?

The physics of leverage is likely a big part of it. They are smaller, so the centre of mass of each mobile segment of their body is closer to the weight-bearing pivot than it is in an adult. multiply this with with having less actual mass overall, that means they need to expend a lot less energy to actually move and lift the weight of their own body, and a lot less energy to overcome both their inertia and their momentum.
