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?

Another factor I haven’t seen mentioned is that toddlers are hyper in bursts. They appear to have massive amounts of energy because they are very visible when they have the energy, then they need a nap and are less noticeable while they have the nap.
Go on a long hike with a toddler and a toddler will be exhausted before the average moderately fit adult is barely tired. Adults have far more slow burn stamina.
