A common injury in contact sports resulting from a blow to the abdomen that overstimulates the solar plexus, causing nervous shock. Typically, a winded person doubles up and has difficulty breathing because the diaphragm is momentarily paralysed and the abdominal muscles go into a spasm. Drawing the knees up to the abdomen is a popular treatment that may help to relax the abdominal muscles and relieve the pain. Even without special treatment a winded person usually recovers quickly without any residual symptoms. If symptoms persist, there may be a serious internal injury requiring expert medical attention.
