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?

Adults are more used to comfort. They usually have a home they pay for and food they buy to eat or at least the expectation that they should. Staying in their comfort zone is more natural. Kids, on the other hand, have no full comfort they have control over. Kids are psychologically anchored further in discomfort, which makes more discomfort easier to tolerate.
This is also why I think addicts are far more capable of amazing things to fuel their addiction. They live in hell and are always fighting out of it.
