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?

You answered yourself. The average toddler has gone zero days without running, jumping, falling and spinning. Plenty of adults have gone *decades* without doing those things.
There’s obvs a bunch of other factors, but did anyone else ever play *The Simpsons: Hit and Run*? I know “use it or lose it” is a common saying but every time I think about how crap my body is becoming as I age, I’m taken back to playing that game just because of that dumb voice.
Essentially… if you never do it, how can you expect to do it?
