According to Chris Freyberg, acting director of the Emergency Department at New York Downtown Hospital, getting the "wind knocked out of you" is not a loss of lung air volume but rather a temporary paralysis of the nerve to the diaphragm.
A blow to the chest can stun the phrenic nerve (roots C3,4,5), which supplies innervation to the diaphragm. The diaphragm is unable to contract (lower) as a result, preventing subsequent volume changes that facilitate breathing.
