A child runs on the spot, and six changes appear on the body one at a time: faster breathing, a faster heartbeat, sweat that helps cool you down, feeling thirsty, muscles working hard, and a big happy smile. The child then rests and the heart and breathing slow down, and the video ends on the recap that moving fast makes your body work hard and helps you feel good.
