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?

They…don’t? A kid isn’t going to want to run on a treadmill or get up at 6:30 every day for work any more than an adult does. Kids sleep a lot and then whine to be picked up after walking 1/8 the distance most adults are capable of walking. They don’t even have work or any responsibilities. What they do have is fun. Most adults have sadly forgotten how to have fun being active. The adults that find something fun to do for exercise stick with it just like kids do, on top of all their other activities. Adults have way more energy and stamina than kids, they just use it on things that aren’t enjoyable.
