getting winded

does having strong abs prevent you (to an extent) from getting winded?

Nope, but they're better at taking a punch. What's with these questions?

whats with what questions?
I dont care about abs for show if thats what ur thinking

"they're better at taking a punch"
meaning they soften the blow, thank you Chris N

They don't soften a blow as they can tighten up as a last line of defense. You can also condition them to be more resilient to punches by getting hit by a medicine ball or in a controlled drill where you have a partner hit your midsection.

Pretty much..Having strong abs helps..
If you get hit in a sweet spot..Its gona hurt..And if its that bad..You take a knee..

They might help you take a shot directly to the stomach... kidneys/floating ribs/solar plexis... forget it ;)

Liver shots can ruin ruin your day, also I heard about back in the day guys got put down by a hard right to the heart.
