[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS loves sports, but he lacks endurance at every sports. He can swim laps, but he is exhausted easily. He plays soccer for years, but he gets tired easily. The same goes for hiking, basketball and tennis. At every game/lesson/practice, he is excited at the beginning, getting exhausted before half has passed, and hoping the whole things done by the last half. Anything could help him? [/quote]

There is not way to know, but I will throw out a few ideas to take a look at.  It might be a combination of a few things, here it goes:

-He might just need a break, maybe he is over scheduled?  
-Low iron content? Make sure he's eating a fortified cereal, Wheaties perhaps?  
-Make sure he's getting both enough protein and simple/ complex carbs.  
-How is his sleep?  
-Does he wish it's over because he wants to  go do something else? 
-Is he wearing a smartwatch and his friends are texting and he can't wait to get back on his iPad to play a game perhaps?  
-What is his body type? Is he slim, like a cross country runner? (Those kids can run all day and usually have endurance for any sport.)  Normal, big boned? 
-Can he run a mile without stopping?  Maybe he gives up too easily and never truly develops any endurance?

I would make sure sleep and nutrition are covered, [b]then work on a 30 day plan (logging the results) of jogging, building up to running a mile non-stop at a decent time.[/b] I find that kids who can really whip out a quick 1 mile run have developed slow twitch muscle fibers and have the fitness/ fortitude to not get pre-maturely tired at most other sports.

Good luck! [/quote]
