Sample BY Abitur Sport eA Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the BY Abitur Sport eA exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1In Sporttheorie, what is the immediate energy currency that must be resynthesized for continued muscle contraction?
A.ATP (adenosine triphosphate)
B.Only dietary fat stored in adipose tissue
C.Atmospheric nitrogen dissolved in blood
D.Bone calcium crystals
Explanation: Muscle contraction depends on splitting ATP into ADP and inorganic phosphate. Training theory emphasizes ATP resynthesis via phosphagen, glycolytic, and oxidative pathways according to load duration and intensity.
2Which energy pathway dominates a maximal ~100 m sprint lasting under about 10–15 seconds?
A.Phosphagen (ATP–PCr) system with anaerobic alactic contribution
B.Exclusive long-duration fat oxidation only
C.Protein oxidation as the primary fuel
D.Aerobic carbohydrate oxidation alone without anaerobic contribution
Explanation: Short maximal sprints rely primarily on stored ATP and phosphocreatine (anaerobic alactic). Glycolysis and aerobic pathways contribute more as duration increases.
3What does the training principle of progressive overload primarily require?
A.Gradually increasing training load over time so the body must adapt
B.Keeping every session identical forever
C.Training only when completely exhausted
D.Avoiding all recovery days
Explanation: Progressive overload means systematically raising stimulus (volume, intensity, or complexity) so adaptations continue. Without progression, performance plateaus.
4Supercompensation describes which sequence after an effective training stimulus?
A.Temporary performance drop (fatigue), recovery, then a temporary rise above baseline if the next stimulus is timed well
B.Immediate permanent performance gain with no fatigue
C.Only psychological motivation without physiological change
D.Loss of all prior adaptations within one hour
Explanation: After load, performance dips during fatigue, returns during recovery, and can briefly exceed the previous level (supercompensation). Timing the next stimulus in that window is a core planning idea in Trainingslehre.
5Which statement best defines aerobic endurance training?
A.Training that relies predominantly on oxidative ATP resynthesis over longer durations with relatively lower intensity
B.Only maximal 5-second efforts with full rest
C.Training that never elevates heart rate above resting
D.Exclusive isometric holds without breathing
Explanation: Aerobic endurance emphasizes oxygen-dependent energy supply for prolonged work. Intensity is typically submaximal relative to sprint or anaerobic-lactacid efforts.
6The Karvonen formula is primarily used to estimate what?
A.Training heart-rate targets from resting and maximal heart rate
B.Exact muscle fiber percentages from a blood test
C.Body mass index only
D.Bone mineral density
Explanation: Karvonen uses heart-rate reserve (HRmax − HRrest) to set intensity zones as a percentage of that reserve plus resting HR—common in Ausdauer training control in Sporttheorie.
7Which muscle contraction type involves force production without changing muscle length?
A.Isometric contraction
B.Concentric contraction
C.Eccentric contraction only
D.Ballistic shortening only
Explanation: Isometric (static) contractions produce force while length stays roughly constant (e.g., holding a plank). Concentric shortens; eccentric lengthens under load.
8What is the primary role of hemoglobin in exercise physiology?
A.Transporting oxygen in the blood to working tissues
B.Storing glycogen in muscle cells
C.Acting as the main contractile protein in sarcomeres
D.Lubricating joint cartilage
Explanation: Hemoglobin in red blood cells binds oxygen and delivers it to tissues. Endurance adaptations often include improved oxygen transport capacity.
9Which statement best describes the center of mass (Körperschwerpunkt) in biomechanics?
A.The point at which the body's mass can be considered concentrated for analysis of translation
B.Always fixed exactly at the navel regardless of posture
C.A legal sports rule about team captains
D.The only muscle that produces force
Explanation: The center of mass is a mechanical reference point for translation and balance analyses. Its location shifts with posture and segment positions.
10Friction in sports movements typically does which of the following?
A.Resists relative motion between contacting surfaces and can both enable propulsion and cause energy loss
B.Always increases speed with no downside
C.Exists only in water sports
D.Eliminates all need for muscle force
Explanation: Friction opposes sliding between surfaces. Athletes need enough friction for traction (running, cutting) but excess friction can waste energy.

About the BY Abitur Sport eA Exam

Sport as Leistungsfach (erhöhtes Anforderungsniveau) in the 2026 Bavarian G9 Abitur is a besondere Fachprüfung combining Sporttheorie and a fachpraktische Prüfung—not a pure written MCQ subject and not assigned to a standard Aufgabenfeld (Sport stands outside the three Aufgabenfelder). Candidates choose written or oral theory; both forms include the practical part. Written theory offers three constructed-response tasks of which one is completed in 180 minutes (100 BE). Practical assessment covers two Handlungsfelder from different groups (A/B/C). Curriculum is LehrplanPLUS Sporttheorie 12/13 eA: Trainingslehre, Bewegungslehre, Sport und Gesundheit, and psychological/social/sociopolitical aspects. This free bank offers 100 original English MCQs for concept and judgment practice only; it cannot replace German Sporttheorie writing/speaking or certify practical performance.

Exam sponsor: Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Unterricht und Kultus (KM Bayern); the Staatsinstitut für Schulqualität und Bildungsforschung (ISB) publishes curricula support, Illustrierende Prüfungsaufgaben and Erläuterungen. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Per GSO § 48 Abs. 5 and KMBek Sport Jgst. 12/13 (BayMBl. 2022 Nr. 485), Leistungsfach Sport is examined only as besondere Fachprüfung: Sporttheorie (written § 49 or oral § 50) plus fachpraktische Prüfung in two sportliche Handlungsfelder from two different groups (A, B, C). Theory and practical parts are weighted 1:1; the two practical Handlungsfelder are equally weighted within the practical result. Written Sporttheorie (ISB Übersichtsblatt): candidates choose and complete 1 of 3 tasks in 180 minutes for 100 Bewertungseinheiten at erhöhtes Anforderungsniveau. Course load is 4 weekly hours (2 Sporttheorie + 2 Handlungsfelder). Prerequisite: at least 'befriedigend' in Sport on the Jgst. 11 Zwischenzeugnis. This OpenExamPrep bank is an English-language MCQ study adaptation of theory and exam literacy only—not an official translation or format simulation—and cannot replace German constructed-response/oral practice or practical Leistungsabnahmen.

Time Limit

Written Sporttheorie: 180 minutes (ISB Sport Übersichtsblatt; 100 BE for one of three offered tasks). Fachpraktische Prüfung duration depends on the two chosen Handlungsfelder and school scheduling; for Abitur 2026, practical Sport exams are not held before Monday 26 January 2026 (KM Bayern / BayMBl. 2024 Nr. 398). Written eA 'alle weiteren Abiturprüfungsfächer' including Sport theory: 13.05.2026 (KM Bayern Terminplan).

Passing Score

Sporttheorie Bewertungseinheiten and practical Leistungsabnahmen convert to Notenpunkte 0–15. In the besondere Fachprüfung, theory and practical parts are weighted 1:1 (max 60 Endpunkte for the Abitur subject contribution before further GSO scaling when no Zusatzprüfung applies). For the Allgemeine Hochschulreife, the Gesamtqualifikation must reach at least 300 of 900 points (coursework up to 600, exam block up to 300), per KM Bayern.

Exam / Certification Fees

No per-subject exam fee is published for regular school candidates at public or state-approved Gymnasien in Bavaria; examination is administered through the public-education school pathway.

BY Abitur Sport eA: Suggested Study Strategy

1Drill training principles with concrete load examples (intensity, duration, density, recovery) rather than isolated definitions—Sporttheorie tasks reward applied planning language.
2Link energy systems and cardiorespiratory adaptations to named endurance methods (Dauer-, Intervall-, Wiederholungsmethode) and thresholds (aerobic/anaerobic).
3Practice naming biomechanical principles with one technique example each (e.g. optimal acceleration path, initial force, coordination of partial impulses).
4Separate health models and doping risk categories cleanly; AFB II/III often asks you to evaluate, not just list.
5For fair-play and sociopolitical items, argue with norms and stakeholders (athletes, media, federations, environment)—not slogans.
6Memorize exam logistics: 3 tasks → complete 1; 180 min; 100 BE; practical in two Handlungsfelder from different groups; theory:practical = 1:1.
7Work through official ISB Illustrierende Prüfungsaufgaben Sport in German under timed conditions; use this MCQ bank for concept checks only. Practical Leistungsabnahmen cannot be replaced by MCQs.
