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?

They don’t have more energy. They consume and expend fewer calories and get tired very quickly. A healthy adult has significantly more capacity for mental/physical exertion than a child.
Kids appear energetic to us because we see them exerting energy with poor efficiency or even pointlessly, but this is a normal part of childhood learning/development. I guess this can incorrectly give the impression that their energy reserves are so large, they can afford to waste them.
