Reasons for the Increasing Popularity of Running Tights

Recently, I've noticed that the rate of athletes and elite runners wearing running tights has been increasing in marathons and other races. What background do you think contributes to this?
First, running tights can be broadly divided into two types.
There are racing half-tights for elites and long tights that support beginners and intermediates aiming to complete a marathon.
I think you're referring to the half-tights, and as you mentioned, the wearing rate has increased over the past five years. Two backgrounds interconnect with this.
The first is that people seeking speed have become much more attuned. After thick-soled shoes were released in 2017, the impact of item specs on time has become more apparent.
