There's an expression as you get older, that the floor gets farther away. I highly suspect that this is due to chairs. Imagine how much more accessible the floor would be to you, and how much easier it would be for you to get down to and up from the floor, if you did it in the regular course of the day instead of using chairs. Similarly, many people past their childhood years couldn't imagine climbing a tree, stating that they're too old to be physically capable of doing so. Yet if you climbed a tree every day of your life, I suspect it would be routinely easy well into your 30s and 40s. It's not age by itself that's at fault, it's the avoidance of certain physical movements that atrophies our abilities, caused by things like chairs and taboos about child vs adult behavior.
