Why does it seems that children usually have a much greater physical disposition/stamina than the average adults?

I mean specifically for very young children such as toddlers. It seems that, as a rule of thumb, they are much more physically motivante than the average (say, 30 years old or so) adults, barring those who actually practice regular exercise. Some children seem like they can run, climb and jump with a consistent timing for longer than many adults.

Is it because our own disposition has been ruined by a generally sedentary lifestyle?

I didn’t see anyone mention it, but afaik, the bigger you get, the more energy you needs to move/sustain yourself, and it’s exponential.
A kid who never trained can dead hang for almost a min, while an adult will struggle.
So I think we as adults just tire ourself faster unless we condition ourself to do that.
