Children who are ill and hospitalized typically have lower energy levels than healthy children.Therefore,children may not appear enthusiastic about an activity even when they are enjoying it.Pool is an appropriate activity for adolescents.They have the cognitive and psychomotor skills that are necessary.If the adolescents were significantly depressed,they would be unable to engage in the game.
