The muon transverse polarization in the K{sup +}{r_arrow}{pi}{sup 0}{mu}{sup +}{nu}{sub {mu}} decay will be measured at the 10{sup {minus}4} level in forthcoming experiments. We compare the phenomenological perspectives with the theoretical predictions in supersymmetric extensions of the standard model. In the minimal extension, CP-violating phases lead to a nonzero transverse polarization, that, however, is too small to account for a positive experimental signal. The problems that one encounters when departing from minimal assumptions are discussed. An observable effect is possible if the hypothesis of R-parity conservation is relaxed, but only at the price of assuming a very special pattern for the R-parity-breaking couplings. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
