Key Facts: SPM Sains Sukan Exam

SPM Sains Sukan carries subject code 4572 and is an MPEI STEM elective under KSSM (Lembaga Peperiksaan Malaysia).

Paper 1 (4572/1) is objective Aneka Pilihan lasting 1 hour 15 minutes; Paper 2 (4572/2) lasts 2 hours 30 minutes (SPM 2025 timetable).

Official SPM Sains Sukan is examined in Bahasa Melayu; this bank is an English MCQ study adaptation only.

DSKP KSSM Sains Sukan allocates about 3 hours per week across Form 4 and Form 5.

DSKP topic weights include movement science (24%), body systems in movement (20%), and fitness preparation (18%) as the largest blocks.

SPM subjects are graded on a 10-band scale from A+ down to G, where E is the lowest pass (Lulus), G is a fail (Gagal), and C or above is a credit (kepujian).

SPM is administered by Lembaga Peperiksaan Malaysia under the Ministry of Education Malaysia.

Candidates from government and government-aided MOE schools sit SPM without a separate exam fee, as it is state-funded.

SPM Sains Sukan (4572) is a Malay-medium two-paper KSSM elective (Paper 1 MCQ 1h15m; Paper 2 2h30m). This page offers 100 free English MCQ study adaptations on anatomy, physiology, training, psychology, nutrition and management — not an official LP translation.

Sample SPM Sains Sukan Practice Questions

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

1In the anatomical position used in SPM Sains Sukan, how is the body described?
A.Standing upright, feet together, palms facing forward, eyes looking ahead
B.Lying supine with palms facing the thighs
C.Standing with arms crossed and palms facing backward
D.Sitting with knees flexed and head turned sideways
Explanation: The anatomical position is the standard reference: standing upright, feet together (or slightly apart), arms at the sides with palms facing forward, and the head looking straight ahead. All directional terms and planes of movement are described relative to this position. This free bank is an English MCQ study adaptation of DSKP KSSM Sains Sukan topics; the official SPM 4572 papers are in Bahasa Melayu.
2Which plane divides the body into left and right portions and is the main plane for flexion and extension of the knee?
A.Frontal (coronal) plane
B.Transverse (horizontal) plane
C.Sagittal plane
D.Oblique plane only
Explanation: The sagittal plane divides the body into left and right portions. Movements in the sagittal plane include flexion and extension, such as knee bend and straighten during a squat or running stride.
3Abduction of the arm at the shoulder primarily occurs in which plane?
A.Sagittal plane
B.Frontal (coronal) plane
C.Transverse plane
D.Median plane only for the trunk
Explanation: Abduction and adduction move a limb away from or toward the midline and occur mainly in the frontal (coronal) plane — for example, raising the arms sideways in a jumping jack.
4A gymnast twisting the trunk about a vertical axis is moving mainly in which plane?
A.Sagittal plane
B.Frontal plane
C.Transverse (horizontal) plane
D.Only the frontal plane of the feet
Explanation: Rotation about a vertical axis occurs in the transverse (horizontal) plane, which divides the body into superior and inferior portions.
5Which bone type is the femur classified as, and what is its main role in sport movement?
A.Flat bone providing large muscle attachment surfaces only
B.Long bone acting as a lever for locomotion and force transmission
C.Irregular bone protecting the spinal cord
D.Sesamoid bone embedded in a tendon at the knee
Explanation: The femur is a long bone of the thigh. Long bones act as levers, enabling locomotion and transmission of forces through the lower limb in running, jumping and kicking.
6Which statement best describes a synovial (diarthrodial) joint relevant to sport?
A.It has a joint cavity with synovial fluid and allows relatively free movement
B.It is immovable, like sutures of the skull
C.It allows only slight movement via cartilage pads, like many vertebral joints
D.It has no articular cartilage and relies only on muscle tone
Explanation: Synovial joints have a joint cavity lined by a synovial membrane that secretes synovial fluid, plus articular cartilage. They permit relatively free movement and are the main joints stressed in sport (e.g., knee, shoulder, hip).
7The knee joint is best classified functionally as which type of synovial joint for most sport analyses?
A.Ball-and-socket joint like the hip
B.Hinge joint allowing mainly flexion and extension
C.Pivot joint allowing only rotation of the radius
D.Saddle joint like the thumb carpometacarpal joint
Explanation: The tibiofemoral knee joint functions primarily as a hinge joint, allowing flexion and extension that dominate walking, running and kicking. Limited rotation occurs when the knee is flexed, but hinge action is the core classification taught at this level.
8Which muscle group is the primary agonist for knee extension in a jump take-off?
A.Hamstrings
B.Quadriceps femoris
C.Gastrocnemius only
D.Iliopsoas
Explanation: The quadriceps femoris (rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, medialis and intermedius) extends the knee and is a key agonist in the propulsive phase of jumping and sprinting.
9During the downward phase of a biceps curl, the biceps brachii is acting mainly as which type of muscle action?
A.Concentric action shortening under tension
B.Eccentric action lengthening under tension to control the load
C.Isometric action with no change in muscle length
D.Ballistic action with no tension
Explanation: Lowering the weight slowly lengthens the biceps under tension — an eccentric action that controls the load and is common in strength training and injury-prevention work.
10Which bones articulate at the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint?
A.Humerus and scapula (glenoid cavity)
B.Humerus and ulna only
C.Clavicle and sternum only
D.Radius and scaphoid only
Explanation: The glenohumeral joint is formed by the head of the humerus and the glenoid cavity of the scapula. It is a highly mobile ball-and-socket joint important in throwing and swimming.

About the SPM Sains Sukan Exam

SPM Sains Sukan (subject code 4572) is a Mata Pelajaran Elektif Ikhtisas (MPEI) STEM elective under the KSSM curriculum, sat at the end of Form 5. It is examined in Bahasa Melayu in two papers: Paper 1 (4572/1) objective multiple-choice (Aneka Pilihan, 1 hour 15 minutes) and Paper 2 (4572/2) structured/subjective (2 hours 30 minutes), as scheduled in the official SPM 2025 examination timetable. DSKP KSSM Sains Sukan (Form 4 and Form 5) weights content across introduction and sport management (10%), body systems in movement (20%), movement science (24%), fitness and physical preparation (18%), sports nutrition (8%), sport psychology and sociology (10%), and sports injuries and prevention (10%). This free bank reorganises that scope into six English MCQ study areas — anatomy, physiology, training, psychology, nutrition and management — for concept practice only.

SPM Sains Sukan: Suggested Study Strategy

1Learn anatomical planes (sagittal, frontal, transverse) with one concrete movement example each — flexion/extension, abduction/adduction, and rotation.
2Compare the three energy systems by duration and intensity: ATP-PC for explosive short efforts, lactic acid for high-intensity efforts of roughly 10–90 seconds, and aerobic for prolonged activity.
3Drill FITT and training principles (specificity, progressive overload, reversibility, individuality) with examples from a named sport.
4Link psychology terms to competition scenarios: intrinsic versus extrinsic motivation, optimal arousal, and strategies for competitive anxiety.
5Build a pre-competition meal checklist: carbohydrate timing, protein for recovery, fluid replacement, and avoiding unfamiliar foods on match day.
6For injuries, memorise RICE/PRICE steps and know when to stop activity and seek medical help — Paper 2 often tests applied management.
7Balance this English MCQ bank with Malay DSKP textbooks and Malay past-year or trial papers so official exam language stays sharp.
