Half and half, but really - it depends how old the kids are. 110 steps/min might be 180 steps/min for a smaller kid.
Also, kids frequently play by sprinting and then relaxing, and then sprinting, relaxing, etc. It's only boring adults who do steady state cardio like a long walk.

- mathgeek 2y agoThat’s partially the competitive aspect as well. High school is peak “everyone can find something to compete in” for a lot of communities. Before that sports are usually more about play and afterwards tend more to recreation or exercise. Again, just generalities.
